Ichimoku Watch: SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust Engaging with SupportDesigned to track the performance of the S&P 500 market index, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (current AUM is US$529,081.40 million) is engaging with an interesting area of support on the 4h chart after gapping lower on Wednesday. This follows an all-time high forged last week at $534.00. SPDR Testing Support The uptrend in this market at the moment is obvious, and traders, therefore, will be seeking locations for dip-buying opportunities. The Ichimoku Cloud’s upper limit was tested yesterday, currently between $525 and $529 (the difference between the Leading Span A and Leading Span B), and could be enough to encourage buying. This is also the first time the Cloud has been tested since the Leading Span A crossed above the Leading Span B at the beginning of May. Within the Cloud, there is also a 100% projection ratio at $522.00, which, for many harmonic traders, will be recognised as a potential AB=CD support level. Further to this, a trendline support (from the low of $493.86) is close to this level. Adding to the above analysis, the Conversion Line appears poised to cross back above the Base Line, which, given the uptrend, would be observed as a bullish signal. Price Direction Favouring Bulls The trend in this market and the current support structure suggest that it remains a buyers’ market. Within the Ichimoku Cloud, the AB=CD support and trendline support could provide a floor to which dip-buyers may be drawn. However, should the Conversion Line cross back above the Base Line prior to testing the above support area, we could see dip-buyers enter this market earlier to challenge all-time highs.

Bajaj Finance Flat CorrectionBajaj FInance is in a long term flat correction which started from late 2021 & it can continue for few more months. It loks like in Wave C where it can make a 5 wave fall. Minimum target should be 6443 of this pattern but seeing the impulsive wave it shouldn't stop here & we can see straight fall to 5800 levels then later on 5200-5300 levels. This pattern can go in till April May 2024 As per Ichimoku too it has broken weekly cloud & next monthly cloud support appears near 5900 levels Buying otm puts for march or April is not a bad option right now.. Risk reward is good with small risk & can hedge this trade too if you want

Ichimoku Kinko Hyo - The Most Underrated Indicator (e.g. NAS100)Welcome to my first educational post. This is a big one, Ichimoku Kinko Hyo is the most underused, underrated, least understood and yet most powerful trend indicator available to the general public. I'll first briefly describe the 4 components: - Tenkan Sen (turning line): it's like a small period moving average but calculated slightly differently. So if price breaks it, it's a first signal of a trend reversal but always wait for the retest. - Kijun Sen (standard line): it's like a larger period moving average but like the Tenkan it's calculated differently. One interesting note is that when it flatlines it represents the 0.5 fib level of the current range. Together, they are used for crossovers just like classic moving averages. - Kumo (Cloud): which is composed of 2 special moving averages called the Senkou Span A and the Senkou Span B. Generally serves as a support/resistance zone and is also subject to crossovers that can confirm reversals (not signal) since it is too slow to signal them. The thicker the cloud the stronger the trend and vice versa. - Chikou Span (Lagging Span): Mirrors current price action 26 periods in the past. In simple terms, it puts things into perspective and can detect potential blocking points for price. Here is a case study of the NAS100 and monthly Ichimoku: What do we see? (Follow the steps) 1) Price breaking the Tenkan and retesting it twice. This is already a major bearish signal. 2) Following the Tenkan break, price doubled down and broke the Kijun + retested it TWICE! A strong bearish confirmation that the downtrend will continue. 3) The Tenkan/Kijun crossover, this is like a death cross of MAs (look it up). 4) This is a reversal signal. You'll notice how price never touched the cloud again. The monthly Ichimoku really puts things into perspective. It really enables you to see the bigger picture and that it is okay to buy in a bear market. You just have to let it guide you. 5) First confirmation of the reversal: the break of the Tenkan + retest. 6) Second confirmation of the reversal: the break of the Kijun + no retest was even needed. 7) 'Golden cross', the Tenkan/Kijun crossing over which is the third confirmation and that price is simply extremely bullish. 8) The Chikou Span breaking past price. This is similar to price breaking a resistance level, it gives the same kind of signal. This is the final bullish confirmation. This a very summarised explanation of how the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator should be used BUT if you want to learn more about it, I strongly suggest you read the book by Karen Péloille: Trading With Ichimoku, A Practical Guide to Low-Risk Ichimoku Strategies. As always, have a lovely Sunday and happy trading! ;)

KAVAUSDT 1DGuys, keep your eyes on this currency, KAVA has done a good floor construction and made a higher floor than the previous floor, also the cloud of Ichi has broken one day. I expect the price to grow up to the indicated area (0.94) Then the price reaction to this level should be re-examined Its main resistance, which is dynamic, is at 0.95, and static support is at 0.7. If he can break the resistance, we can expect very good moves from him. It is almost 9% away from this price to its main resistance.....

December E-Mini Russell 2000 Index Futures Weekly Chart: 12/7/23Last week we saw the December E-mini Russell 2000 Index futures continues its bullish run with its third consecutive green candle closing into the Ichimoku cloud and above its 52-week moving average. With this move up, the MACD showed a bullish cross indication by crossing its signal line. RSI is trending up along with price. A continuation of this uptrend might find resistance at the top of the Ichimoku cloud (~1,906) and at the 200-week moving average (~1,930). A reversal to the downside might find support at the recent lows at the end of October (~1,640). Please Note: Commentary and charts reflect data at the original time of analysis (12/01/23). Market conditions are subject to change and may not reflect all market activity.

BTCUSD appears to have more upside potentialPotential signals to watch out for. Upside: Most candlesticks that broke above the cloud have higher highs and higher lows Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen crosses upwards Chikou-span i.e. the lagging line is about to cross above the cloud No weekly bearish bars above the cloud Downside: Last week's candle is a potential reversal signal, it's also an inside bar, therefore a breakout is required for confirmation Price is approaching a monthly resistance, be mindful a sharp reversal may occur. The Lagging line may be rejected by the top of the cloud

Ichimoku Cloud Demystified: A Comprehensive Deep DiveHello TradingView Community, it’s Ben with LeafAlgo! Today we will discuss one of my favorite indicators, the Ichimoku Cloud. The Ichimoku is a versatile trading tool that has captivated traders with its unique visual representation and powerful insights. We will dive deep into understanding the Ichimoku Cloud, explore its history, discuss its parts, highlight real-life examples, and address potential pitfalls. By the end of this article, we believe you will know how to leverage the Ichimoku Cloud effectively in your trading endeavors. Let’s dive in! Origin of The Ichimoku Cloud The Ichimoku Cloud, also known as Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, was developed by Goichi Hosoda in the late 1930s but was not published until later in the 1960s. Its name translates to "one glance equilibrium chart," reflecting its ability to provide a holistic view of market dynamics with a single glance. Over time the Ichimoku Cloud has become a popular trading tool among new and seasoned traders. Components of The Ichimoku Cloud Some traders believe the Ichimoku cloud is a complex jumble of lines with no rhyme or reason, but this is not necessarily true. The best way to understand the Ichimoku cloud is to break it down into its respective parts. Each element contributes to the overall interpretation of price action, trend direction, support and resistance levels, and potential entry and exit points. The Ichimoku Cloud has five components: Tenkan-sen, Kijun-sen, Senkou Span A and B, and Chikou Span. The Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen, often called the Conversion Line and Base Line, respectively, are essential in identifying trend direction and momentum. Below we can see a bullish signal happens when the Tenkan-sen crosses above the Kijun-sen. Conversely, a bearish signal occurs when the Tenkan-sen crosses below the Kijun-sen. Typical length inputs for the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen are 9 and 26. The Senkou Span A and B form the cloud or "Kumo." These components serve as dynamic support and resistance levels, with Senkou Span A calculated as the average of the Conversion Line and Base Line and Senkou Span B representing the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low over a specified period, typically 52. The cloud's thickness and color provide visual cues for potential market strength and volatility. The Chikou Span, or the Lagging Span, is the current closing price plotted 26 periods back on the chart. It helps traders gauge the relationship between the current price and historical price action, providing insights into potential trend reversals or continuation. Putting the parts together gives us a complete picture of the Ichimoku Cloud. Each aspect contributes to the one-glance equilibrium theory, giving traders a more holistic view of price action. Applying the Ichimoku Cloud in Trading We now better understand all parts of the Ichimoku cloud, but that means little if we don’t understand how it can be utilized in trading. Let's explore examples that demonstrate the practical application of the Ichimoku Cloud: Example 1: Trend Following In an uptrend, we would look for the Tenkan-sen to cross above the Kijun-sen while the price remains above the cloud. When the price retraces to the cloud, a long position opportunity may arise, with the cloud acting as support. The Chikou Span should also be above the historical price action, confirming the bullish sentiment. Example 2: Trend Reversals and Breakout Opportunities A potential trend reversal or continuation can be identified when the Tenkan-sen crosses above the Kijun-sen and the price moves above the cloud. A breakout trade can initiate when the price breaks through the cloud's upper boundary, indicating a shift in momentum. For the Ichimoku cloud to give its strongest confirmation of a reversal, some traders will take a fairly conservative approach and wait for a few things to occur. Traders typically wait for a kumo twist, the Tenkan-sen/Kijun-sen cross, and the Chikou Span to break the cloud and be above the price. The reverse of these signals can be used in the same fashion for a short position. Example 3: The Kumo Twist In a trend, a Kumo Twist can signal a potential trend reversal. Look for the Senkou Span A to cross above or below the Senkou Span B within the cloud. This twist can confirm a shift in market sentiment. Traders can enter a position when the twist is confirmed, placing a stop loss above or below the cloud or the recent swing high/low. I think of the Kumo twists and subsequent clouds as a trend filter. Placing longs on the bullish side or shorts on the bearish side, however, some traders use the Ichimoku Cloud in a contrarian fashion. Contrarian trades can be profitable using this method as price tends to pull back to the clouds A or B span where support or resistance may lie. Pitfalls and Challenges: Avoiding Common Mistakes While the Ichimoku Cloud is a powerful tool, it is paramount to be aware of potential pitfalls. Here are a few challenges to navigate: False Signals and Choppy Market Conditions In ranging or volatile markets, cloud signals may generate false indications. During such periods combine the Ichimoku Cloud with other technical indicators or wait until the market picks a direction. Moving out to higher time frames can help clear the murkiness of consolidation phases and provide a clearer picture of the trend, in turn, weeding out false signals. Overcomplicating Analysis The Ichimoku Cloud provides a wealth of information, but it's crucial to maintain simplicity and focus. Avoid overcrowding the chart with an abundance of indicators, especially other overlays. It is easy to get lost in the sauce or run into redundancies with too much on the chart. Testing and Adapting Each market has its characteristics or volatility, and it's essential to backtest the Ichimoku Cloud strategy, experiment with different parameters, and adapt to market conditions over time. Many traders rely on the standard settings, but in my time developing trading algorithms, I have learned that those settings do not hold from market to market or consistently over time. It is critical to regularly revisit your settings or overall trading strategy to make sure you are drawing on the best available information the Ichimoku Cloud can give. Enhancing the Ichimoku Cloud Strategy To enhance your understanding and utilization of the Ichimoku Cloud, consider the following: Incorporating Other Technical Indicators Combining the Ichimoku Cloud with other indicators, such as oscillators, to confirm signals can be beneficial. I know I said not to over-clutter your chart with other indicators, but that is a rule of thumb more set for overlays. Timeframe Considerations Adapt the Ichimoku Cloud to different timeframes based on your trading style. Higher time frames may provide more reliable signals, while lower timeframes may offer shorter-term opportunities. I don’t believe it ever hurts to back out a few time frames to get a clear picture of market dynamics and avoid tunnel vision. Conclusion The Ichimoku Cloud is a versatile indicator, and today we scratched the surface of how it can be appropriately used. Remember, practice, patience, and continuous learning are critical for refining your skills and adapting the Ichimoku Cloud strategy to ever-evolving market conditions. If there is anything unclear or you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to comment below. Trading education is our passion, and we are happy to help. Happy trading! :)

BAJAJ FINSERVHello & Welcome to this analysis Stock appears to have gone into a triangle correction since its OCT 2021 high and could be currently in its iii leg. Immediate resistance at 1490-1510, above that 1600 and then a bigger one near 1750. While support comes in at 1460, below that 1400 and v crucial trendline support at 1300, failure to hold that would drift this stock into a medium term deeper correction else range bound between 1350-1750 for quite some is highly probable Happy Investing
