USD/JPY – 4H – SELL

The USD/JPY 4H signal is firmly bearish, with a cluster of indicators confirming downside momentum. The Trendline Break Down and BBANDS MIDDLE Cross Down, combined with a BOP Zero Cross Down, indicate that sellers are in control and that the price is breaking below key technical levels. The STOCH KD Cross Down adds to the bearish momentum, while the MA Retreat Down suggests that the moving average is now acting as resistance. The additional signals (MOM, ROC, ROCR Cross Up) might seem contradictory at first, but in this context they likely reflect a short-term bounce within a larger downtrend, which could offer a better entry for sellers. Overall, the confluence of these signals points to a continuation of the bearish move.

Across timeframes, the trend is consistently bearish, with the 4H, 8H, 12H, and 1D all showing a solid trend (3/5). The lower timeframes (15m to 1h) are bearish but choppy, suggesting that the move may be in its early stages or that there is some near-term consolidation. The 2H is forming a trend, which aligns with the overall bearish picture. Key levels to watch are the nearest resistance at 159.77400, which could act as a barrier if the price retraces, and the nearest support at 158.59800, which is the next downside target. A break below support would likely accelerate the decline, while a break above resistance would invalidate the bearish setup.
