The fatal misconception in cryptocurrency trading is fixating on a single time frame's K-line. Too many people are misled by the 15-minute fluctuations or blindly enter the market without considering the 4-hour trend. I share a multi-timeframe analysis method validated over two years to help beginners avoid detours and assist losers in rebuilding their rhythm.
I. 4-hour K-line: The 'compass' for determining direction
Uptrend: K-lines continuously show 'higher highs + higher lows', pullbacks are low-buy opportunities
Downtrend: Shows 'lower lows + descending highs', be cautious and less active during rebounds
Sideways phase: Price fluctuates repeatedly within a fixed range, reduce operational frequency by more than 50%
Core principle: If the direction is wrong, everything is wrong; trading against the trend is the root of losses
II. 1-hour K-line: The 'battle map' for locking positions
Key marked support levels (previous lows, moving average intersection points), resistance levels (previous highs, dense trading areas)
In an uptrend, a bullish candle touching the 20-day moving average is often a safe entry point
When the price rushes to a previous high and encounters resistance, it is considered a short-term profit-taking signal
Key operation: Wait for the price to enter critical areas before acting, refuse 'casual orders'
III. 15-minute K-line: The 'signal device' for pulling the trigger
Only used for precise entry, without judging the overall trend
Act when key positions show engulfing patterns, golden cross/dead cross, bottom divergence, etc.
Must be accompanied by increased trading volume (more than 1 times the average of the last 5 K-lines), to avoid false breakouts
Execution rhythm: Trend direction → Position reached → Signal appears, all three thresholds must be met to open a position
Multi-timeframe operation mantra
Determine direction: 4-hour analysis of bullish or bearish
Draw positions: 1-hour to find ranges
Wait for signals: 15 minutes to look for opportunities
Practical reminders (loss summary)
When there are conflicting signals across multiple time frames, firmly stay in cash and observe
15-minute cycle operations must have stop losses (recommended 2%-3%)
Replace 'intuition' with fixed processes to form muscle memory
The essence of trading is not to predict the market but to filter through multiple timeframes, ensuring each operation stands on the side of probability advantage. Mastering this method will allow you to escape the trap of chasing highs and cutting losses.
