Here's a nice chart with regards to the ichimoku cloud and price action, and also a different kind of confluence.
Price entered the cloud. It is expected to stay in the cloud. Price went north, and then east. This is especially so on the hourly chart that when there is eastward motion, the break, almost invariably will be in the direction of the trend. Trend was UP to get there, and so it will break the upper regions of the consolidative pattern.
Here's the difference in the pips that are made off of a trade like this. Many people look at a consolidative pattern, and then want to trade the break, whichever way it will go. Isn't it good to know that we now have the knowledge the next break will be to the upside? So, current level is a nice area to take a long position because it is at the bottom of the pattern. In retrospect this is the hourly pattern, so wait for the break on the hourly, take the huge, quick move, then get out.
Position traders would see the implications on the weekly, then see this pattern on the hourly and then with confidence, take this trade to ride out the more MT uptrend (In this case, "uptrend" refers to the correction of the larger downtrend.).
BTW, you silent viewers, we would love to here your inputs and have you participate. All this ichimoku talk is relevant as far as "Some of my forecasts" are concerned. These same principles can be applied to all markets, which, of course, includes Nifty.
I'm also still working at getting a demo that includes Nifty. I will entertain all suggestions.
Mr paul these are some good trades! I entered a little late btw I bough this pair @ 1.5453 so in this case does a target at the 4h kinun looks good? or it would be the trendline that you have marked ?
