How to use the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator 📊
The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) measures Money Flow Volume over a set period, usually 21 days, helping traders gauge buying and selling pressure
This indicator makes it easy for retail traders to find the price areas at which the accumulation or distribution occurs.
📈 A CMF value above zero indicates buying pressure, suggesting a potential upward trend.
📉 A CMF value below zero indicates selling pressure, hinting at a potential downward trend.
🔄 Look for divergences between CMF and price. If the price hits new highs but CMF does not, it might signal weakening momentum and a potential reversal.
✔️ Use CMF with other indicators to confirm trends. Sustained CMF values above or below zero strengthen the trend signal so you can have more conviction in your directional bets.
Over the past year, the OpenAI's product has greatly expanded its capabilities. The chatbot can now read information from images you send, even charts.

Everyone knows about Ethereum and Solana, but very few could buy ETH or SOL years ago. The opportunity for many was to buy coins of applications built on these chains like DEX aggregators, such as 1INCH (valued at $435M) or JUP (valued at $1.49B) 🧐
INJ is the token of the Injective blockchain, and it's up 4,600% since the bottom of the bear market, but there's still little competition in its ecosystem, especially among the DEXs.
👉 Right now there is a contender for leadership among the DEX aggregators of the Injective ecosystem – Injex Finance. This project already has partnerships with market giants and is currently running a presale of its token INJX ⌛️
This is the second and last round of presale, tokens are sold at $0.015, which means that if Injex Finance's valuation will be on par with other DEX aggregators like 1inch, we could see the price rise by 100x or more 📈 #ETFvsBTC #CryptoWatchMay2024 #EarnCommissions #ScamRiskWarning
