Comm Channel Index Indicator:

Conventional Interpretation: CCI (-77.19) has crossed back into the neutral region, issuing a signal to liquidate short positions and return to the sidelines. The range from -100.00 to 100.00 indicates a neutral market.

Initiating signals when CCI crosses zero, rather than waiting for CCI to cross out of the neutral region can often help overcome this. Given this interpretation,CCI (-77.19) is bearish, but has begun showing some strength. Begin looking for an attractive point to cover short positions and return to the sidelines.
