Comm Channel Index Indicator: Conventional Interpretation: CCI (63.16) is in neutral territory. A signal is generated only when the CCI crosses above or below the neutral center region. Additional Analysis: CCI often misses the early part of a new move because of the large amount of time spent out of the market in the neutral region. 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 (63.16) is bullish, but has begun showing some weakness. Begin looking for an attractive point to liquidate long positions and return to the sidelines.
