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 Micro Silver 1-minute charts — not what it is supposed to do, but the distribution of 81,949 recorded values over the last 90 days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commodity Channel Index | -3.35 | -87.40 – 84.50 | -168.90 / 167.25 | -466.67 – 466.67 |

How this was measured
Every 1-minute bar of Micro Silver recorded in the last 90 days was read, and the values grouped without smoothing or filtering. Series with fewer than 400 readings are omitted rather than shown on thin evidence. These are recorded values, not forecasts.
