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 7,445 closed forex 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
  • Daily chart shows a strong cluster of bullish momentum signals, suggesting a potential short-term reversal.
  • Higher timeframes (2H to 1D) remain bearish, so this is a counter-trend move within a larger downtrend.
  • Watch the nearest resistance at 158.94900 for confirmation; a break above it would strengthen the bullish case.
  • The nearest support at 156.07500 is the invalidation level; losing it would negate the bullish signals.
The USD/JPY daily chart is firing a dense cluster of bullish momentum signals, including a BOP zero cross up, CMO zero cross up, RSI midline cross up, STOCHF KD cross up, and WILLR oversold entry, alongside a BBANDS middle cross up and retreats up from the SMA 50 and MIDPRICE. This broad-based indicator alignment suggests that downside pressure is exhausting and buyers are stepping in, with the majority of signals pointing to a shift toward bullish momentum on the daily timeframe.

However, the higher-timeframe trend remains firmly bearish across the 2H through 1D charts, all showing choppy/sideways conditions with a bearish bias. The bullish signals are therefore occurring within a larger downtrend, making this a counter-trend setup. The nearest resistance at 158.94900 is the immediate hurdle; a decisive break above it would confirm the bullish reversal, while the nearest support at 156.07500 is the key level to watch — a loss of this support would invalidate the bullish case and likely resume the broader downtrend.
Catalysts
  • ▲ Multiple momentum indicators (BOP, CMO, RSI, STOCHF, WILLR) all crossing up simultaneously, indicating strong buying pressure.
  • ▲ Price retreating up from the SMA 50 and MIDPRICE, showing that moving averages are providing dynamic support.
  • ▲ The BBANDS middle cross up suggests volatility is expanding in favor of upside movement.
  • ▲ High signal probability (91%) and very strong strength score indicate a high-confidence setup.
Risk Factors
  • ▼ The higher timeframe trend (2H, 4H, 8H, 12H, 1D) is bearish, which could overpower the daily bullish signals.
  • ▼ The market is choppy/sideways across all timeframes, increasing the risk of false signals and whipsaws.
  • ▼ If price fails to break above the nearest resistance at 158.94900, the bullish momentum could fade quickly.
  • ▼ A break below the nearest support at 156.07500 would invalidate the bullish setup and likely resume the downtrend.
