Chasing blindly on the 15-minute chart or holding through a 4-hour liquidation? I spent 2 years mastering multi-time frame analysis: 3 steps to avoid being washed out and steadily grasp the market.

In the crypto world, many people repeatedly fall into traps and fail to make money, not because of poor skills, but because they fixate on a single time frame.

Some people stare at the 15-minute K line every day, chasing short-term trades, getting anxious and buying as soon as the price rises a little, only to see a pullback right after they enter.

Some people stubbornly hold the 4-hour trend, ignoring short-term reversal signals, and end up getting washed out by the market, or even facing liquidation.

I have also fallen into the trap of single time frames. Previously, I focused on the 1-hour K line, thinking I could catch the waves, but every time I entered, I soon encountered a pullback, and in just three months, I lost a lot.

Later, feeling unsatisfied, I reviewed multiple times and found that looking at the market through a single time frame is like seeing a leopard through a tube; you can't see the overall trend and can't accurately grasp the timing for entry.

After two years of exploration, I have summarized the multi-time frame K line method, which has now become the 'basic configuration' for stable profits. Today, I am sharing this simple three-step process with everyone.

Step one, use the 4-hour K line to define the main direction - this is key to profit and loss. The 4-hour time frame is longer and can filter out short-term noise, making the trend clearer.

If it is an upward trend, meaning the K line's highs and lows are continuously rising, only take long positions during pullbacks; if it is a downward trend, with continuous lower highs and lower lows, wait for a rebound to short; when encountering sideways fluctuations, trade less or not at all to avoid getting 'slapped in the face' repeatedly during the consolidation.

"There's a saying: 'Winning probability comes from following the trend,' which is absolutely true. When ETH was in a 4-hour upward trend, I only took long positions during pullbacks and made 3000U in a single wave, which is much more reliable than guessing the direction.

Step two, use the 1-hour K line to find key levels - define the entry range. Once the main direction is set, use the 1-hour K line to find support and resistance levels.

For example, in an upward trend, when the K line pulls back to the trend line, moving average, or previous low position, it is a potential entry point; if the price approaches the previous high, resistance level, or shows a topping pattern, it is time to take profit or reduce positions.

Previously, when I took a long position in BTC, I first confirmed the upward trend through the 4-hour K line, then looked at the 1-hour K line to see a pullback to the 20-day moving average, decisively entering the market, and took profits when the price rose to the previous high, securing steady gains.

Step three, use the 15-minute K line to determine the 'timing to shoot' - not looking at the trend, just capturing signals. At this point, there's no need to judge the trend; the focus is on waiting for key levels to show 15-minute reversal signals, such as engulfing patterns, MACD divergences, or golden crosses in moving averages, and only act when these signals appear.

Moreover, one must wait for a breakout with volume to avoid being deceived by false signals. Previously, when I shorted SOL, I first confirmed the downtrend through the 4-hour K line, then identified the resistance level on the 1-hour K line, and finally waited for the 15-minute chart to show a top divergence with volume before decisively entering the market, quickly achieving profits.

Using the multi-time frame K line method, there are several key points to remember: first check the 4-hour chart to determine the bullish or bearish direction, then use the 1-hour chart to find entry areas, and finally wait for the 15-minute chart to signal.

If the directions of different time frames conflict, for example, if the 4-hour trend is upward while the 1-hour is downward, then decisively stay out of the market and don't force an entry.

When operating on a small time frame, stop losses must be used to prevent being wiped out by short-term fluctuations. It’s important to know that following the trend + good position + timely execution is much more reliable than blindly guessing based on a single time frame.

Now, every time I trade, I always check these three time frames, which has reduced my mistakes and made my profits more stable. If you also keep falling into traps on a single time frame,

If you want to precisely grasp the market and avoid blind operations, pay attention to @趋势猎手老金 . In the future, I will share detailed techniques for multi-time frame analysis, such as identifying key levels for different cryptocurrencies, distinguishing reversal signals, and I will also analyze practical case studies with you to help you quickly familiarize yourself with this multi-time frame K line method.

In the crypto world, finding the right method is much more important than blindly working hard; mastering the multi-time frame analysis allows you to make money more steadily in the market.
