Notes:
Please remember that the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) & Base Line (Kijun Sen) are not SMAs or EMAs they are X amount high/low period midpoints in whatever timeframe you are in, so they should not be used as SMA or EMAs.
Note that there are other aspects to the Ichimoku Cloud which make it a very complete system such as Price Theory, Wave Theory and Time Theory but I won’t go into those on this post.
Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) = Highest High + Highest Low calculation over 9 Periods = Blue Line.
Base Line (Kijun Sen) = Highest High + Highest Low calculation over 26 Periods = Red Line.
Lagging Span (Chikou Span) = Today’s price displaced back 26 Periods = Green Line.
Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) = Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen calculation value displaced ahead 26 Periods = Cloud Green Line.
Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) = Highest High + Highest Low over 52 Periods Value displaced ahead 26 Periods = Cloud Red Line.
Bullish Zone = Above the Cloud.
Equilibrium Zone = Inside the (Kumo) Cloud can be Green or Red.
Bearish Zone = Below the Cloud.
This was just a post to show how you can use the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo in multiple timeframes for support, resistance & momentum, so I hope this post has been helpful with your trading and understanding of the Ichimoku Cloud. So in which direction is the S&P500 Index going to go...... i leave up to you to make your own minds up ;-).
