📌 HOW TO USE 4HR/15M CONFLUENCE IN CRYPTO TRADING 🔁📉📈
Want better trade accuracy and cleaner entries?
One of the most effective ways to level up your strategy is through multi-timeframe confluence — especially using the 4HR and 15M charts.
Here’s a structured breakdown of how to apply it in crypto 👇
🔍 1. Identify Market Structure on the 4HR Chart
Start with the 4-hour time frame.
Look for clear signs of trend direction:
📉 Bearish = lower highs & lower lows
📈 Bullish = higher highs & higher lows
For example, if BTC breaks below a key level like 64,000 and forms new lows, that signals bearish structure and momentum.
📊 2. Wait for a Pullback (Retracement Zone)
After a strong move (impulse), expect a retracement — ideally into the 50%-60% zone of the move.
This area becomes a potential entry zone for trend continuation.
You don’t need heavy indicators — just observe structure, zones, and clean price action.
🕒 3. Zoom Into the 15M Chart for Entry Precision
Now move to the 15-minute chart.
If structure is still bullish on 15M (higher highs/lows), wait.
Your goal is to see a shift to bearish (lower highs/lows) that aligns with the 4HR bias.
✅ This confirms that the short-term traders are now in sync with the higher timeframe trend.
🕯️ 4. Entry & Confirmation
Once the 15M shows a break in bullish structure and prints the first lower high/lower low — that’s your signal.
Enter on the pullback after confirmation.
🎯 Set SL just above recent highs/lows.
🎯 Target a minimum 1:3 R:R for solid trade management.
💼 5. Risk Control & Profit Taking
Manage your trade with discipline:
🔐 Move SL to breakeven once price moves favorably
💰 Let partials run for extended targets
🧠 Let structure guide your decision — not emotions
📚 Summary
Combining 4HR structure with 15M entries gives you:
✅ Clear directional bias
✅ Precise and timely entries
✅ Stronger conviction behind every trade
