USD/JPY – 30M – BUY

The USD/JPY 30-minute chart has fired a cluster of bullish signals, including a Trendline Break Up, Double Bottom, and Triple Bottom, alongside strong momentum indicators like AROON Strong Uptrend and DEMA Break Up. These signals align with a bullish trend across the 15-minute to 2-hour timeframes, suggesting that the short-term momentum is firmly to the upside. The nearest support at 156.67200 is a critical level; as long as price holds above it, the bullish bias remains intact.

However, the higher timeframes (4H to 1D) are bearish, with very strong downtrends on the 8H and 12H. This creates a conflicting picture: the immediate trend is up, but the broader trend is down. The bullish signals on the 30M chart may represent a counter-trend rally within a larger downtrend. The key is whether the rally can break above recent resistance levels (not yet identified) to signal a potential reversal, or if it will stall and resume the bearish trend. Traders should watch the 156.67200 support closely; a break below would invalidate the bullish setup.
