Chaikin Money Flow

Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is a volume-weighted measure of buying and selling pressure
It combines price location within the candle range with volume to estimate institutional flow
CMF is typically calculated over a 20-period window (CMF20)

Measures whether money is flowing into or out of a security over time
Interpretation
🟢 CMF > 0 = net buying pressure (accumulation)
🟡 CMF near 0 = neutral flow / balance between buyers and sellers
🔴 CMF < 0 = net selling pressure (distribution)

Key Signals
CMF crossing above 0 = shift toward accumulation
CMF crossing below 0 = shift toward distribution
Rising CMF = strengthening buying pressure
Falling CMF = increasing selling pressure
Divergence vs price = early reversal warning signal
