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 829 closed forex 2h signals since 6 Sep 2026 ended:
20 % at target avg +0.41 % 29 % holding time ended, in profit avg +0.20 % 36 % holding time ended, at a loss avg −0.22 % 15 % at stop avg −0.50 %

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 bearish confluence on the 2H chart: multiple indicators and candlestick patterns align for a sell.
  • Higher timeframes (4H-1D) are bearish, supporting the 2H sell signal despite short-term bullishness.
  • Watch the 156.07500 support: a break below it would confirm further downside.
  • Resistance at 158.60300 is the key invalidation level; a close above it would negate the bearish setup.
The SELL signal on USD/JPY at the 2H timeframe is backed by a confluence of bearish signals: the BOP Zero Cross Down indicates deteriorating buying pressure, RSI OB Exit signals a pullback from overbought conditions, STOCHF KD Cross Down confirms short-term momentum shifting lower, and ACCBANDS UPPER Upper Retreat shows price retreating from the upper band. The bearish candlestick patterns (Bearish Harami, Tweezers Top) add reversal confirmation, while the Fibonacci Break DownTrend (24%) suggests price has broken below a key retracement level, opening the door for further downside.

Across timeframes, the trend is mixed: the 2H and lower timeframes (15m-1h) are bullish, but the higher timeframes (4H-1D) are bearish, albeit choppy. This creates a conflicting picture, but the 2H signal aligns with the higher-timeframe bearish bias, suggesting that the current pullback could be the start of a larger move down. Key levels to watch are resistance at 158.60300 and support at 156.07500. A break below support would confirm the bearish continuation, while a move back above resistance would invalidate the signal.
Catalysts
  • ▼ Multiple indicators (BOP, RSI, STOCHF, ACCBANDS) all point to bearish momentum.
  • ▼ Bearish candlestick patterns (Bearish Harami, Tweezers Top) provide reversal confirmation.
  • ▼ Fibonacci break below the 24% retracement level suggests a shift in market structure.
  • ▼ Higher timeframe trend (4H-1D) is bearish, aligning with the 2H sell signal.
Risk Factors
  • ▲ Short-term timeframes (15m-1H) are bullish, which could lead to a bounce before the move down.
  • ▲ The 2H trend itself is currently bullish, which may conflict with the sell signal.
  • ▲ If price breaks above the 158.60300 resistance, the bearish signal would be invalidated.
  • ▲ Momentum could fade if the RSI and STOCHF quickly recover from oversold levels.
