Ichimoku Cloud

ICHI

A multi-line system that calculates midpoints of highs and lows over three lookback windows, forming a "cloud" of support and resistance. Traders read the cloud thickness, line crossovers, and price position relative to the cloud to gauge trend direction and momentum.

Tips

A thick cloud acts as stronger support/resistance; thin or twisting clouds signal potential trend changes
Tenkan/Kijun crossovers above the cloud are stronger bull signals; below the cloud they are weaker and riskier
