## What it means

The Ichimoku cloud is a shaded zone built from past highs and lows. A close through the cloud, with the fast conversion line above the slower base line, suggests a new trend.

## How it is confirmed without repainting

The cloud under each candle is the one projected 26 closed candles earlier, so it never changes after the fact.

## When it fails

Thin clouds and flat lines, where price drifts through without commitment.
