Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (IKH) is an indicator that gauges future price momentum and determines future areas of support and resistance.

Let's Get Started with this:

Kijun Sen

Meanwhile, the Kijun Sen acts as an indicator of future price movement.

If the price is higher than the blue line, it could continue to climb higher.

If the price is below the blue line, it could keep dropping.

Tenkan Sen

The Tenkan Sen is an indicator of the market trend.

If the red line is moving up or down, it indicates that the market is trending.

If it moves horizontally, it signals that the market is ranging.

Chikou Span

Lastly, if the Chikou Span or the green line crosses the price in the bottom-up direction, that’s a buy signal.

If the green line crosses the price from the top-down, that’s a sell signal.

Here’s that line-filled chart once more, this time with the trade signals:
