Comm Channel Index Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: CCI (170.27) recently crossed above the buy line into bullish territory, and is currently long. This long position should be liquidated when the CCI crosses back into 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 (170.27) is currently long. The current long position position will be reversed when the CCI crosses below zero. Adding bullish pressure the market just reached a 45 bar new high.

Additional Analysis: RSI is somewhat overbought (RSI is at 66.70), but given the 45 bar new high here, greater overbought levels are likely.
