What is an Ichimoku Cloud Chart?
The Ichimoku Cloud Chart is a technical analysis method that combines multiple technical indicators into one chart. It can display potential support and resistance areas, trend direction, and provides clear price behavior analysis, helping traders find the best entry and exit points.
The Ichimoku Cloud Chart was proposed by Japanese journalist Goichi Hosoda in the 1930s. After years of research and improvement in this analytical technique, it was eventually shared publicly in the 1960s, becoming a well-known indicator widely used in technical analysis today.
In MEXC's futures trading, the Ichimoku Cloud analysis indicator has been introduced. You can add this indicator to the basic K-Line chart and use it to support your daily futures trading.
1. Ichimoku Cloud Composition
The Ichimoku Cloud consists of five parts: the Conversion Line, Base Line, Lagging Span, Leading Span A, and Leading Span B.
1.1 Conversion Line: This is a 9-day moving average line. Calculation method: Conversion Line = (Highest high in 9 days + Lowest low in 9 days) / 2. It is represented by the blue line in the diagram below.
1.2 Base Line (Kijun-sen): This is a 26-day moving average line. Calculation method: Base Line = (Highest high in 26 days + Lowest low in 26 days) / 2. It is represented by the brown line in the diagram below.
1.3 Lagging Span (Chikou Span): The Lagging Span shows the current day's closing price compared to the average of the past 26 days, represented by the deep green line in the diagram below.
1.4 Leading Span A (Senkou Span A): This predicts the future trend within the next 26 days through the moving average of the Conversion Line and Base Line. Calculation method: Leading Span A = (Conversion Line + Base Line) / 2. It is represented by the light green line in the diagram below.
1.5 Leading Span B (Senkou Span B): This predicts the future trend within the next 26 days through the 52-day moving average. Calculation method: Leading Span B = (Highest high in 52 days + Lowest low in 52 days) / 2. It is represented by the pink line in the diagram below.
1.6 Cloud: The area between Leading Span A and Leading Span B.
2. Ichimoku Cloud Uses
2.1 Determining Future Trend Direction
As seen in the chart, the cloud spans the last 26 periods of the K-Line chart.
When Senkou Span A is higher than Senkou Span B, creating a green cloud, it signals a bullish trend. Conversely, a red cloud formation indicates a bearish trend. Transitioning from a red cloud to a green cloud signals a bullish trend, while shifting from a green cloud to a red cloud indicates a bearish trend.
When the market price is above the cloud, it signals a bullish trend, and when it is below the cloud, it signals a bearish trend.
2.2 Generating Trading Signals
During an uptrend, a buy signal occurs when the token price crosses above the baseline while being above the cloud. Conversely, in a downtrend, a sell signal is triggered when the token price crosses below the baseline while being below the cloud.
Similarly, in an uptrend, a buy signal is generated when the conversion line crosses above the baseline while the price remains above the cloud. Conversely, during a downtrend, a sell signal is indicated when the conversion line crosses below the baseline while the price is below the cloud.
2.3 Forming Resistance and Support Levels
The Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B on both sides of the cloud form resistance and support levels in token price fluctuations, crucially providing traders with projected support/resistance areas for the next 26 days. The wider the cloud appears on the chart, the lower the likelihood of a trend reversal.
