How the CCI Indicator Works

Momentum Oscillator for Trend & Extremes

The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a momentum oscillator that measures how far price deviates from its average. Traders use it to spot momentum expansions, pullbacks, and potential overbought/oversold conditions when combined with trend context.

Signal Logic: Threshold Breaks (+100 / -100)

Long setups often appear when CCI breaks above +100 (bullish momentum expansion). Short setups often appear when CCI breaks below -100 (bearish expansion). In ranging markets, traders often look for CCI to revert back from extremes to mean; in trending markets, they focus on continuation after pullbacks.

Multi-Timeframe Confirmation (15m, 1h, 4h, 1d)

Use lower timeframes for timing and higher timeframes to confirm the regime. Aligning 1h and 4h CCI direction often reduces noise compared to using only 15m signals.

Professional Workflow: Filter, Screen, Validate

Combine CCI with the indicator filter and the crypto screener. Validate market context using market status, compare candidates using Compare, and confirm with RSI, MACD, Supertrend, and Momentum.

Key Features:
  • Momentum-based signal generation
  • Multi-timeframe screening (15m, 1h, 4h, 1d)
  • Fast symbol search
  • Professional trading signals
