    Sanyaku scanner

    Price and 24h change are as of the scan; everything else uses the last closed bar of the selected timeframe. The lagging column compares that close with the close one displacement earlier (25 bars on the classic setting, 29 on the crypto setting). Click a row to load that coin in the chart above.

    What this tool does

    The Ichimoku Cloud uses five lines (conversion, base, lagging span and the two leading spans that form the cloud) to show trend direction, strength and support or resistance at a glance. This tool draws Ichimoku on live Binance candles and checks for Sanyaku Kouten, where the conversion/base cross, the lagging span and the cloud are all bullish, and Sanyaku Gyakuten, where all three are bearish. A scanner runs the same check across the top 30 coins by volume.

    How it is calculated

    Conversion line = (highest high + lowest low of the last 9 bars) ÷ 2, base line = the same over 26 bars, leading span A = (conversion + base) ÷ 2, leading span B = (highest high + lowest low of the last 52 bars) ÷ 2. As in TradingView's default, the leading spans are plotted 25 bars ahead (the 26th bar counting the current one as 1) and the lagging span (the close) 25 bars back. The crypto setting 20·60·120·30 shifts by 29 bars. The state is judged on the last closed bar i: (1) conversion[i] > base[i], (2) close[i] > close[i−25], (3) close[i] > cloud top (the larger of spans A and B computed 25 bars earlier). All three true is strong bullish (Sanyaku Kouten), all three reversed is strong bearish (Sanyaku Gyakuten), anything else is mixed; equal values count for neither side. Cloud thickness ahead = |span A − span B| ÷ close × 100, labelled thin when it sits in the bottom 20% of the same values over the last 100 bars and thick in the top 20%. Base line slope compares with the value 5 bars earlier. A conversion/base cross is graded by where the base line value at the cross bar sits relative to that bar's cloud: above, inside or below means a strong, neutral or weak bullish cross, and the reverse for a bearish cross. The chart re-checks the last 500 bars every 30 seconds and the scanner the last 200 bars of the top 30 USDT coins by 24h quote volume every 5 minutes (identical bar data is reused for up to 10 seconds).

    Reading the screen, section by section

    Top bar: coin, timeframe, setting, signal marks

    Choose the coin (the 60 Binance spot pairs with the highest quote volume), the timeframe (1H, 4H, 1D or 1W; 1D at first), the setting (classic 9·26·52 or crypto 20·60·120) and whether to show signal marks. Changing the coin reloads only the chart; changing the timeframe reloads the chart and the scanner below. Changing the setting downloads nothing and recalculates the chart, the verdict and the scanner from the bars already loaded. The crypto setting shifts the spans by 29 bars and needs at least 150 bars to evaluate (78 for the classic one), so a recently listed coin on the weekly chart may show a not-enough-bars message. The coin, timeframe and setting stay in the address bar.

    Chart: the cloud and five lines

    Over the candles and volume of the last 500 bars the chart draws the conversion line, the thicker base line, the lagging span and leading spans A and B, and fills the space between the two leading spans in a different color for bullish and bearish clouds. Twenty-five empty slots (29 with the crypto setting) to the right of the last bar show the cloud ahead. The legend shows the five line values for the bar under the crosshair, or for the forming bar when there is no crosshair. With signal marks on, bars where the closed-bar verdict switched into strong bullish or strong bearish get a Bull or Bear mark. The chart reloads every 30 seconds and updates the forming candle and line ends, but the front edge of the cloud and the verdict only advance when a bar closes.

    Key levels: price, conversion, base, cloud top and bottom

    The five tiles under the chart show, for the forming bar, the current price, the conversion line, the base line and the top and bottom of the cloud over the current bar. The percentage under each tile is the distance from the current price, and the price tile adds a KRW reference converted with USDT/KRW (Bithumb, or Upbit as a fallback). These tiles change every 30 seconds, so they can briefly disagree with the verdict, which uses closed bars. For example, if the forming bar has crossed the cloud top, the verdict does not change until that bar closes. Live, watch whether the gap between price and the nearest Ichimoku level is narrowing. The conversion and base lines are midpoints of the 9- and 26-bar high and low, so they only move when a new high or low appears.

    Recent strong bullish / strong bearish switches

    This table lists, newest first, up to six bars in the loaded 500 where the verdict changed from the previous bar into strong bullish or strong bearish. Each row has the bar time and how many bars before the last closed bar it was, the signal type, that bar's close, and the change from that close to the current price. That change is the outcome of one signal, not a success rate or any other statistic, and it moves with the price every 30 seconds. Bars that switched to mixed are not counted, so the moment a strong bullish state ended and turned mixed does not appear here. You can read that from the 'bar n in this state' line in the verdict box instead.

    Ichimoku status: the verdict box

    The verdict box on the right checks three conditions on the last closed bar: (1) conversion line > base line, (2) close > the close 25 bars earlier (29 with the crypto setting), and (3) close > cloud top. All three met is strong bullish, all three reversed is strong bearish, anything else is mixed, and equal values count for neither side. It also shows how many bullish conditions are met (0/3 to 3/3) and how many bars the same verdict has lasted; if it runs back to the first loaded bar it says 'n+ bars'. The line just below is the verdict computed on the forming bar. If it differs from the main verdict, it only means the verdict would change if the bar closed right now; until then it can flip any number of times.

    Five checks and the reading

    Under the verdict are five checks. (1) Conversion and base values, how many bars ago they last crossed, and whether that cross happened above, inside or below the cloud. (2) The gap between the close and the close 25 bars earlier, and whether it also cleared that bar's high or low. (3) The cloud range and price's distance from it (inside the cloud, how far up from the bottom). (4) The type of cloud drawn ahead, its thickness as a percentage of price, whether that is thin or thick for the last 100 bars, and how many bars until a twist. (5) Whether the base line is higher or lower than 5 bars ago. Checks 4 and 5 are tagged 'context' and are not part of the verdict. The sentence at the bottom restates all this plus the nearest Ichimoku levels above and below price, and makes no forecast.

    Strong bullish scanner

    The scanner takes the top 30 USDT coins by 24h quote volume (stablecoins, wrapped tokens and the like excluded), downloads the last 200 bars of each on the current timeframe and setting, and evaluates them. It scans on load and every 5 minutes; while running it shows 'Analyzing a/b' and when finished it stamps the time. Price and 24h change are quotes from the scan, so they can lag the chart above. Sorting by verdict puts strong bullish, mixed and strong bearish in that order, with the most recent switches first within each group. The filter shows a single verdict, and the totals above count coins per verdict. Clicking a row switches the chart to that coin. Coins without enough bars show 'Too few bars'.

    Keeping it open

    The chart and verdict are checked every 30 seconds and the scanner every 5 minutes. On another tab the page pauses and refreshes once as soon as you return. The verdict only changes when a bar closes, so right after a bar's closing time is when to look. Binance bars follow UTC, so daily bars close at 00:00 UTC and 4H bars at 00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00 and 20:00 UTC. A good scanning order is the verdict box and its forming-bar line, then the five checks, then the distances in the key-level tiles, then the scanner totals and coins that just switched. Try flipping between the two settings to see whether the verdict agrees, or keep a technical-rating summary or moving-average tool open alongside. If data stops, the status badge at the top turns to an error.

    Things to know

    Frequently asked questions

    What are Sanyaku Kouten and Sanyaku Gyakuten?

    Sanyaku Kouten (three roles turned bullish) means all three Ichimoku conditions hold at once: the conversion line is above the base line, the lagging span is above the price 25 bars ago and price is above the cloud. Sanyaku Gyakuten is the mirror image with all three bearish. They are read as the clearest one-sided trend states.

    The cloud sits one bar away from where my broker's chart puts it.

    The displacement is 26, but counting the current bar as 1 the lines actually move 25 places. TradingView moves them 25 and so does this tool. Software that moves them 26 places will show the cloud one bar further out; the line values themselves are the same.

    When would I use the 20·60·120·30 setting?

    9·26·52 was designed for the Japanese stock market when it traded six days a week. Because crypto never closes, some traders stretch the periods to 20·60·120·30. That setting shifts the spans by 29 bars and needs at least 150 bars to evaluate (78 on the classic setting).

    The verdict does not match what the chart looks like right now.

    The verdict and its five items use the last closed bar, because the forming bar keeps changing until it closes. The verdict on the forming bar is shown separately under the verdict box, and the key levels under the chart use the forming bar.

    Which coins does the scanner cover, and how often?

    The top 30 USDT pairs by 24h quote volume on Binance spot (stablecoins excluded), on the timeframe you selected. It fetches the last 200 bars per coin and re-evaluates every 5 minutes. Sorting by the state column lists strong bullish, then mixed, then strong bearish, with the most recent switches first within each group.
