Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) vs Fakeout

Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is a volume-based oscillator that measures the flow of money into or out of an asset over a defined period, indicating whether buying or selling pressure is currently dominant.

A fakeout is a false price breakout where the market briefly moves beyond a key support, resistance, or consolidation level before reversing sharply back inside, trapping traders who entered on the break.
