Target and stop are recalculated on every candle and can move.
The plan applies until the end. Warning signs along the way are notes, not an exit signal – exiting at warning signs has not paid off on average in our measurements.

What we have measured
This is how 810 closed forex 2h signals since 6 Sep 2026 ended:

Missing the target is not the same as a loss: when the holding time ends, the trade closes at the market price – in profit or at a loss.

Analysis

🎯 Key Takeaways
  • Strong bullish signal on 2H with 97% probability and very strong strength.
  • Multiple indicator groups and moving average retreats align, confirming momentum.
  • Watch for a break above 158.60300 to confirm the trend; support at 156.07500 is critical.
  • Higher timeframes (8H and above) are bearish, so the move may face overhead resistance.
The USD/JPY 2H signal is overwhelmingly bullish, with a 97% probability and very strong strength. The confluence of multiple indicator groups—including BOP Zero Cross Up, STOCHF KD Cross Up, and WILLR OB Entry—along with a cluster of moving average retreats (DEMA, EMA, HT TRENDLINE, KAMA, MA) indicates broad-based momentum alignment. The 2H timeframe shows a solid trend (3/5), and the 1H and 4H timeframes are forming bullish trends, suggesting the move is gaining traction. However, the 15m and 30m are choppy, indicating near-term noise, while the 8H, 12H, and 1D timeframes remain bearish, which could act as overhead resistance.

Key levels to monitor are the nearest resistance at 158.60300 and support at 156.07500. A sustained push above resistance would confirm the bullish momentum, while a break below support would invalidate the signal. The alignment of multiple moving average retreats suggests a strong trend, but the conflicting higher-timeframe bearishness warrants caution. Traders should watch for a potential pullback to the support zone as a re-entry opportunity, but only if the higher timeframes show signs of reversal.
Catalysts
  • ▲ Broad confluence of indicators: BOP, STOCHF, WILLR, and multiple moving average retreats.
  • ▲ Trend alignment across 1H, 2H, and 4H timeframes supports a developing bullish trend.
  • ▲ Strong trend score (3/5) on the 2H timeframe indicates solid momentum.
  • ▲ The signal's high probability and very strong strength suggest high conviction.
Risk Factors
  • ▼ Conflicting bearish trends on 8H, 12H, and 1D timeframes could cap upside.
  • ▼ Choppy price action on 15m and 30m suggests near-term volatility that might trigger false breakouts.
  • ▼ A break below support at 156.07500 would invalidate the bullish signal.
  • ▼ Fading momentum on higher timeframes could lead to a reversal, so monitor trend scores for deterioration.
