grammar - Present perfect continuous for finished actions

Since present perfect continuous is used to talk about an activity that has finished, but whose results are visible now, can I use it for an action like these two ones;



'I have been living in Los Angeles.'



'I have been living in Los Angeles my whole life.'



Meaning that both actions are finished actions, as I have relocated recently to another location and the result of my relocation is obvious.




If present perfect continuous doesn't show that these two actions above are finished actions, then in what cases does present perfect continuous express that the action has finished?



Thanks
