I believe your request is to find the Ichimoku bullish and bearish signals. These are summarized in the below webpage. Especially in the section called: "Tenkan-sen and kijun-sen". This describes the bullish signal as "tenkan-sen above kijun-sen" and bearish as "tenkan-sen below kijun-sen".

Using those parameters for the indicator, I come up with the following study.


Code:
input tenkan_period = 9;
input kijun_period = 26;

def Tenkan = (Highest(high, tenkan_period) + Lowest(low, tenkan_period)) / 2;
def Kijun =...

plot Tenkan_San = Tenkan;
plot Kijun_San = Kijun;

# curState :: 0 = Bearish.  1 = Bullish.
def curState = if Tenkan > Kijun then 1 else 0;

AssignPriceColor(if curState == 1 then Color.YELLOW else Color.BLUE);
