Comm Channel Index Indicator:

Conventional Interpretation: CCI (100.92) 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 (100.92) is currently long. The current long position position will be reversed when the CCI crosses below zero.

Conventional Interpretation: RSI is in neutral territory. (RSI is at 52.72). This indicator issues buy signals when the RSI line dips below the bottom line into the oversold zone; a sell signal is generated when the RSI rises above the top line into the overbought zone.
