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 513 closed forex 4h signals since 6 Sep 2026 ended:
25 % at target avg +0.43 % 25 % holding time ended, in profit avg +0.31 % 32 % holding time ended, at a loss avg −0.31 % 18 % at stop avg −0.48 %

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
  • Bullish signals on 4H are firing, but the higher timeframe trend is bearish, so treat this as a counter-trend move.
  • Watch the nearest resistance at 158.60300 and support at 156.07500 for confirmation or invalidation.
  • The mix of bullish and bearish signals means the move is fragile; wait for a close above resistance or a clear shift in higher timeframes.
  • Momentum indicators (BOP, STOCHF) are turning up, but the EMA death cross and phasor cross down warn of lingering bearish pressure.
The aggregate of signals on the 4H timeframe is pointing to a bullish reversal attempt for USD/JPY, with a moderate probability of 67%. The BOP Zero Cross Up and STOCHF KD Cross Up indicate early momentum shifting in favor of buyers, while the WILLR OS Exit suggests that selling pressure has exhausted its extremes. However, the EMA CROSS 20 50 Death Cross and HT PHASOR Inphase Cross Down are bearish signals, creating a mixed picture. The HT TRENDMODE Mode to Trend and the CTI OS Entry add weight to the idea that a trend change may be underway, but the higher timeframe trend remains firmly bearish across all timeframes from 15m up to 1d, with the strongest bearishness in the shorter timeframes.

Given the conflicting signals, the key levels to watch are the nearest resistance at 158.60300 and support at 156.07500. A break above resistance would confirm the bullish reversal, while a move below support would invalidate it. The bearish alignment across all timeframes is a significant headwind, and the choppy/sideways trend scores in the mid to higher timeframes suggest a lack of clear directional conviction. Traders should treat this as a counter-trend opportunity with moderate confidence, requiring confirmation from price action on the 4H chart.
Catalysts
  • ▲ Multiple momentum indicators (BOP, STOCHF, WILLR) are aligning to suggest buying pressure is building on the 4H timeframe.
  • ▲ The HT TRENDMODE shift to 'trend' indicates the market may be transitioning from choppy conditions to a more directional phase, which could support a breakout.
  • ▲ The CTI OS Entry signal adds a contrarian element, often appearing at turning points after oversold conditions.
Risk Factors
  • ▼ The bearish trend across all timeframes (15m to 1d) is a strong headwind; a counter-trend move may fail without higher timeframe support.
  • ▼ The EMA 20/50 Death Cross and HT PHASOR Inphase Cross Down are bearish and could cap upside momentum.
  • ▼ If price fails to break above the 158.60300 resistance and instead breaks below the 156.07500 support, the bullish thesis is invalidated.
  • ▼ The choppy/sideways trend scores in the 2H and higher timeframes indicate a lack of trend strength, which increases the risk of a false signal.
