Senkou Span A - 1st leading line
The average of the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen, plotted 26 days ahead.
(Tenkan Sen + Kijun Sen) / 2 plotted 26 days ahead
The Senkou Span A, also known as the 1st leading line, is a moving average of the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen and is plotted 26 trading days ahead, i.e. into the future. It is primarily used in combination with the Senkou Span B to form the Kumo (cloud), to indicate probable future support and resistance levels.
As price tends to respect prior support and resistance levels, time-shifting this line forward gives a visual representation of how the price on a date relates to support and resistance from 26 trading days prior.
The trend is deemed to be bearish when the Senkou Span A is below the Senkou Span B and bullish when it is above.
==========
Senkou Span B - 2nd leading line

Looking at the weekly cloud with different settings. These setting were developed for legacy trading markets and dont fully take into account the 24/7 nature of crypto and bitcoin. Changing these settings can produce radically different looking charts but the information is the same. It is just a matter of learning what is going on in the chart and using it to your advantage.
We still sit below the tenkan sen and kijun sen and continue to be drawn towards them. This coincides with us being below the TK, as now the trend is to follow the span B which is the upper part of the cloud now. We are sitting below that 2.618 fib and it looks like it might rise over the next few weeks. The median at the 0.618 fib might be within reach if the market decides to continue to rebound.

As we creep along the underside of the cloud a little upwards and sideways followed by a little more upwards until April. July oh my..

The cloud is showing a twist or change over in the end of April it looks like. As shown on the the two previous charts a twist can indicate extreme volatility. Also of interest is the spike in mid Summer followed by a long cold Fall. Then came Winter.

Look at and use multiple sources of data and try to paint a coherent picture is all you can do. And most important of all, is this is subject to change without notice...just in case you'd forgotten.
