#CryptoCharts101 Looking at a chart without understanding the time frame is just gambling.

Many people open the chart and immediately look at the 1-minute or 5-minute frame. As soon as the price moves slightly, they jump in to buy/sell right away.

They forget that: the time frame = the context of the market.

🔹 The same red candle, but on the 1D frame, it may be a slight correction, while on the 5m frame it could be... a mini collapse.

🔹 And you? Opening a 15m chart to enter a trade, then feeling confused because after a few hours the price goes "the other way" → because you didn't look at the 4H or Daily frames to understand what the larger trend is.

💡 Trading without determining the time frame first = playing a guessing game.

✅ Suggestions:

– Long-term → look at the 1D, 1W chart

– Medium-term → use 4H

– Short-term scalping → combine 5m & 15m but must reference the larger frame

👉 What time frame do you usually use to trade?
