CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
Also called: commodity channel index
An unbounded oscillator measuring price's distance from its average — readings above +100 flag strength, below −100 weakness.
Despite the name, the CCI (Donald Lambert) is used on any market. It measures how far price has moved from its statistical mean relative to typical deviation, oscillating around zero. Moves above +100 signal an unusually strong push; below −100, an unusually weak one.
Traders use ±100 crossings as momentum triggers and watch divergence with price. Because CCI is unbounded, the +100/−100 lines mark 'notable' moves rather than fixed ceilings.
