How to Use Renko Chart Technical Analysis in Trading

A Renko chart only measures price movement. It does not have the time dimension. It is easier to see where the market is actually moving on a Renko chart. Because of its simplicity, traders are able to identify key support and resistance levels effectively and quickly. In addition, it offers a cleaner look of the market so that traders can easily identify the trend.

In today’s Renko chart above, it is very clear to see the strong uptrend. 4164 / 4176 provide the support needed for the SP 500 Futures to continue to move higher. The momentum to move up is strong. We should expect to see the SP 500 Futures trade above 4200 shortly. On the downside, 4128 provides very good support. The likelihood for the SP 500 Futures to move lower and retest 4128 is possible but slim at the moment. I expect it to move up above 4200 first.
