MFI: combining price and volume to track money flow
The Money Flow Index (MFI) is a momentum indicator that combines price and volume. It helps traders understand buying pressure, selling pressure, and whether money is flowing into or out of an asset.
What MFI measures
MFI measures buying and selling pressure using both price movement and trading volume.
Unlike RSI, which uses only price, MFI includes volume to give a deeper view of market activity. This makes it useful for detecting stronger or weaker moves.
Below 20
Low MFI readings may suggest strong selling pressure or potential oversold conditions.
Money flow
MFI helps show whether price movement is supported by real volume activity.
How traders use MFI
Traders use MFI to confirm momentum strength, detect divergence, and identify whether price moves are backed by volume. It is especially useful when combined with volume-based indicators.
Buy, sell, and neutral interpretation
A bullish signal may appear when MFI rises from low levels, showing increasing buying pressure. A bearish signal may appear when MFI falls from high levels, showing weakening demand. Neutral conditions occur when MFI stays in the mid-range.
When MFI fails
MFI can stay overbought or oversold in strong trends.
Like RSI, it may signal reversal too early if the market continues trending. It should always be confirmed with trend and structure.
