Commodity Channel Index

In technical analysis, an equation using a moving average to determine whether a commodity is overbought or oversold. It is calculated as follows:

CCI = (P - MA) / 0.015D

where:

P = the commodity's current price.
MA = a moving average of the price over a given period of time.
D = normal deviations from the moving average.

This has become a popular tool among technical analysts, who use it to find highs and lows in a commodity's price to make their investment decisions. Some even use it for equities and currencies, in addition to commodities.
