Commodity Channel Index measures how far price has moved from its own recent average, in units of typical deviation. This page reports what it actually read on Crude Oil 15 minute charts — not what it is supposed to do, but the distribution of 5,863 recorded values over the last 90 days.
| Series | Median | Middle half | 5th / 95th | Full range |

| Commodity Channel Index | 10.40 | -84.11 – 94.68 | -171.20 / 175.97 | -421.56 – 466.67 |
The median is the middle reading, so a single unusual session cannot drag it. The middle half is where Commodity Channel Index sat on half of all bars — the range you should expect to see most of the time on this chart.
