The Kijun-sen is generally used in combination with the Tenkan-sen to create predications of future momentum. A buy signal is created when the Tenkan-sen line moves above the Kijun-sen, while a sell signal is created when the Tenkan-sen line moves below the Kijun-sen line. The Kijun-Sen is often regarded as the trigger line for traders who use the Ichimoku method.
