The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a technical indicator that measures the strength of the momentum in the market.
When CCI is under -100 that indicates a strong downtrend and above +100 level a strong uptrend, above 0 level a bullish trend start and bellow 0 level bearish momentum.
Crossing back above -100 and bellow + 100 levels not means is a reversal of the trend, could be just a pullback or a bounce and continuation with the old trend.
That's why the CCI indicator is not good to be used as a self indicator for trades, you can use it with donchian channels or bollindger bands or some moving averages or anything else that helps to see clearly trend conditions.
