In graphic analysis in the crypto world, time periods (or timeframes) are fundamental for correctly interpreting market movements. Depending on the trading style (scalping, day trading, swing, or long-term investment), different periods are used. Here I explain the most popular ones and their uses:
Popular Periods in Crypto Graphic Pattern Analysis
1. 1 Minute (1M) / 5 Minutes (5M) / 15 Minutes (15M)
🔹 Ideal for: Scalping
🔹 Use: Traders looking for quick movements and small profits in a few minutes.
🔹 Advantages: High frequency of operations.
🔹 Risks: A lot of noise and instability.
2. 1 Hour (1H) / 4 Hours (4H)
🔹 Ideal for: Day trading and swing trading
🔹 Use: Analyze daily trends and clearer signals than in minutes.
🔹 Advantages: Good balance between speed and reliability.
🔹 Common patterns: Triangles, flags, double tops/bottoms.
3. 1 Day (1D)
🔹 Ideal for: Swing traders and medium-term investors
🔹 Use: Identify more solid patterns and sustained trends.
🔹 Advantages: Less market noise, more reliability.
🔹 Common patterns: Head and Shoulders, channels, consolidations..
4. 1 Week (1W) / 1 Month (1M)
🔹 Ideal for: Long-term investors (HODLers)
🔹 Use: Study market cycles and global trends.
🔹 Advantages: Great macro perspective.
🔹 Common patterns: Accumulation/Distribution, Wyckoff cycles, macroeconomic trends.
📌 Extra Tip:
> Experienced traders often use multiple timeframes simultaneously to confirm patterns (for example, looking at the entry in 15M, but the overall trend in 1D).
