Ichimoku Cloud (Ichimoku Kinko Hyo)

The Ichimoku Cloud is a Japanese technical indicator built from five lines (Tenkan-sen, Kijun-sen, two Senkou spans forming the "cloud" or Kumo, and the Chikou span) that shows trend, support/resistance, and momentum at a single glance. Price above the cloud signals an uptrend, below it a downtrend, and the cloud's thickness reflects how strong that support/resistance zone is.
