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 1 minute).

Pick a coin and a timeframe (1H, 4H, 1D or 1W). The page opens on the daily chart with TradingView's default 9·26·52.

Read the chart: the cloud (bullish in the up colour, bearish in the down colour), the conversion and base lines and the lagging span. The empty 25 bars to the right of the last candle (29 on the crypto setting) already show the cloud ahead.

Check the Ichimoku state panel for the overall verdict and its five items: the conversion/base cross, the lagging span, price vs cloud, the cloud ahead and the base line slope.

Use the scanner below to sort the top 30 coins or filter to strong bullish or bearish only, and click a row to open that coin's chart.

Things to know

Price inside the cloud is commonly read as a directionless zone, and a thicker cloud as stronger support or resistance.

A cloud twist, where spans A and B cross, is often watched as a candidate point for a trend change. The cloud-ahead item shows how many bars away the next twist is.

Crypto trades around the clock, so some traders use 20·60·120·30 instead of 9·26·52. Switch between the two settings to see whether the verdict agrees.

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.
