Timepass, the cloud tenken and kijun are all following hot on its trail. It might look yummy, but I've seen better dishes.
In considering the ichimoku only, a close above the kijun would be needed to verify any type of signal for the uptrend. Then, you are going to have the bottom of the cloud to deal with, which will force this market to go at least sideways for awhile.
I'm also saying this in the absence of the 4,W,M charts.
Keep in mind, the series I'm doing on the ichimoku is to show the specific properties of it, and how they work. Those specific properties can be used in making a trading decision. For me personally, I work as it as confluence with the rest of the aspects of my methodology.
I know there are a few great traders that use the ichimoku as a standalone (Namely the one that mentored me on it.). I'm not one of them. There are obvious standalone indications, but I need the rest of my methodology to confirm the entry.
Now, let me go back after saying all that. This chart and TF as a standalone tells me this looks good to wait for a pullback to the tenken, watch for a reaction, and get ready to go short.
