The Tenkan-Sen. The first component of the Ichimoku Cloud charting indicator is the Tenkan-Sen. The Tenkan-Sen is measured by taking the average of the highest high and lowest low for the last x periods.
The cloud is created by filling in the area between the Senkou Span A and B. Price above the cloud is a bullish signal while the price below a cloud is a bearish signal.
Price action inside the cloud is considered a neutral signal or "Turbulence" and is usually not traded in.
Less momentum would mean the price is less likely to breach the cloud because the price has been consolidating sideways.
The Ichimoku Cloud charting system is simply an indicator and will not always play out as expected.
