Scans 3 core price rules (RSI, moving average, price momentum). If they agree you get a BUY or SELL with entry, take profit and stop loss; if they disagree it honestly returns HOLD (no trade).
Price (156.855) is above the 20-day moving average (156.762). The 20-day average is like a short-term trend line. Being above it means momentum is upward. We do not have the 50-day yet for extra confirmation, but short-term it looks up.
Price Momentum5d avg -0.66% vs 20dSELL
The recent 5-day average is 0.66% below the 20-day average, so short-term speed points down.
The 3 free rules do not agree on USD/JPY right now, so there is no clear trade. Wait for a cleaner setup, or run a Pro scan for the full 13-rule model plus a live world-event read.
When the 3 free rules disagree there is no edge, so the honest call is to wait. A Pro scan runs the full 13-rule model plus live news and calendar events for a higher-conviction read.

USD/JPY signal history
Every resolved USD/JPY signal, wins and losses. Identical scans shown to multiple traders are consolidated into one record.
USD/JPY is driven by the interest-rate gap between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, plus growth and inflation data from each economy. Rate hikes, hot CPI and strong jobs numbers usually strengthen a currency, while dovish surprises weaken it. Risk sentiment matters too — the yen and franc tend to gain in risk-off markets.
About USD/JPY
USD/JPY pairs the US dollar against the Japanese yen. Its direction is driven mainly by the interest-rate gap between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, and by relative growth and inflation between the two economies. In sentiment terms, the Japanese yen tends to strengthen when markets turn risk-off, while the US dollar does better when risk appetite is strong.
Best trading sessions for USD/JPY
USD/JPY is most active when the New York and Tokyo sessions are both open — the London–New York overlap, 12:00–16:00 UTC, is usually the most liquid window. It is quietest late in the New York afternoon.
What increases USD/JPY volatility
Expect the biggest USD/JPY moves around US inflation, non-farm payrolls and Fed guidance and BoJ policy, US Treasury yields and risk sentiment, central-bank rate decisions from either side, and broad risk-on / risk-off swings in global markets.
Yes. The USD/JPY Simple Scan is 100% free forever, with no login and no card. The optional Pro Scan is the only paid part.
What is the difference between the free signal and Pro Scan?
The free Simple Scan reads the 3 core price rules (RSI, moving average and momentum) and gives you a real USD/JPY signal in seconds. The Pro Scan runs all 13 rules and, most importantly, scans live world data for USD/JPY right now: the latest news and upcoming economic events, read and weighed by AI. Free is a fast technical read, Pro is a full, world-aware signal with Telegram and email alerts.
Why does the Pro Scan cost money?
Because it is a real live scan, not a guess. Every Pro Scan combines live USD/JPY prices with current news, economic-calendar events and the complete 13-rule model, which costs real compute and live data each time it runs. You are paying for a genuine live scan of your market, updated the moment you request it.
What is the current USD/JPY signal?
The latest read is HOLD with an entry near 156.85, take profit at 156.85 and stop loss at 156.85. It refreshes as the market moves.
Is USD/JPY a buy or sell today?
Right now the USD/JPY signal is HOLD. The free reading is calculated from 3 core technical rules (RSI, moving average and price momentum), while a Pro scan evaluates the complete 13-rule model. It changes through the day as price and momentum shift, so check the live signal above before you trade.
What is the USD/JPY forecast for today?
SignalsTrades does not predict a fixed price target. It gives a live HOLD bias for USD/JPY with an entry near 156.85, a take profit at 156.85 and a stop loss at 156.85, recalculated every few minutes from real market data.
How is the USD/JPY signal calculated?
An algorithmic engine checks 13 market rules (RSI, moving averages, momentum, Fear & Greed, session timing, round levels, USD trend and more), then weighs them into a single direction and confidence score.
How often does the USD/JPY signal update?
The signal is recomputed on demand and cached for about 5 minutes, and a fresh reading is generated daily. Follow the Telegram channel to get each close (win or loss).
