Ichimoku Cloud

A comprehensive technical indicator that defines support and resistance, identifies trend direction, gauges momentum, and provides trading signals. Consists of five lines forming a 'cloud'.

Example

For example, when price breaks above the Ichimoku Cloud and the Tenkan-sen crosses above the Kijun-sen, traders interpret this as a strong bullish signal to enter a long position.
