The Commodity Channel Index explained

The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) was developed by Donald Lambert in 1980. Despite the name, it works equally well on stocks and ETFs. CCI measures how far a security's current price is from its statistical average over a given period, expressed in units of standard deviation.

Unlike RSI or Stochastic (which are bounded 0–100), CCI is unbounded — it can reach +200, +300, or beyond during extreme moves. The classic interpretation: readings above +100 indicate the asset is in an overbought cycle; readings below −100 indicate an oversold cycle and a potential reversal opportunity.

below −100
Oversold
Price significantly below statistical average — potential cyclical bottom and reversal upward
−100 to +100
Neutral
Price within normal range of its average — no strong directional signal
above +100
Overbought
Price significantly above statistical average — potential cyclical peak and reversal downward
