Commodity Channel Index Average, along with [[Comm Channel Index|Commodity Channel Index]], is commonly used for determining cycle beginning and ending in futures markets. This indicator may also help to identify buy and sell opportunities.
<br>
CCI takes a security's change in price and compares that to its average change in price. CCI's calculation produces positive and negative values that oscillate above and below a Zero Line. Typically a value of 100 is identified as overbought and a reading of -100 is identified as being oversold. However, it is important to note a couple of things. Actual overbought and oversold thresholds can vary depending on the financial instrument being traded. For example, a more volatile instrument may have thresholds at 200 and -200. Frequently, overbought/oversold conditions are seen as a precursor to a price reversal. However, when using CCI, overbought and oversold conditions can often be a sign of strength, meaning the current trend may be strengthening and continuing. When applied to a chart, this indicator contains three plots, displayed in a separate subgraph from the price data.
