In the cryptocurrency space over the past few years, my biggest realization is: don't fixate on a single candlestick timeframe. Too many people suffer losses from being shaken out or chasing highs and lows, ultimately losing direction.

Today, I will clarify a multi-timeframe candlestick analysis method that I've been using, which is suitable for newcomers and those still experiencing frequent losses.

1. 4-hour candlestick: Understand the trend, and decide whether to go long or short.

This timeframe is like a 'compass' in the cryptocurrency space; if the direction is wrong, all efforts are in vain.
• If you see the candlestick continuously forming 'higher highs and higher lows', this indicates an uptrend; a pullback is an opportunity, so calmly look for a low entry.
• If it is 'lower highs and lower lows', then it indicates a downtrend; don't fantasize about a rebound, observe more and act less.
• If the price is stuck in a range and fluctuates repeatedly, it is a sideways market; during this time, avoid operating too frequently to prevent being harvested back and forth.

In short: First, get the direction right, then talk about trading; counter-trend trading is the starting point for losses.

2. 1-hour candlestick: Draw key positions and lock in the battlefield range.

With the direction set, you also need to know where to enter and exit; the 1-hour chart can help.
• Look for support and resistance levels, previous highs and lows, and areas where moving averages converge; these are potential buy or take-profit signals.
• For example, if a bullish candlestick lands exactly on the 20-period moving average, it may be a safe entry opportunity.
• Another example is when the price surges but encounters resistance at a previous high, which often signals a short-term top.

Don't place orders casually; you need to have the patience for 'equivalent pricing'.

3. 15-minute candlestick: Wait for the signal to appear, then pull the trigger.

Don't use the 15-minute chart to determine the overall trend; it only helps you accurately catch the entry timing.
• Only consider taking action when key positions show engulfing patterns, bottom divergences, or golden crosses as reversal signals.
• Trading volume is crucial; a surge in volume indicates market recognition; otherwise, it is a false breakout.

My own rhythm is: **Correct trend → Position reached → Signal appeared, then take action.** It's like three doors; none can be missing.


Multi-timeframe trading mantra (remember and you can use it)
• Set the direction: Use the 4-hour chart to see the trend; clarify whether to go long or short.
• Mark positions: Circle key areas on the 1-hour chart to lock in observation points.
• Wait for signals: Act only when signals appear on the 15-minute chart; don't guess in advance.


The last few reminders, all learned through painful losses.
• If several timeframes conflict, it's better not to trade than to force it; waiting is also a strategy.
• Small timeframes move quickly; always use stop-loss; otherwise, if you get swept several times, it’s hard to recover.
• Never trade based on 'feelings'; use this method to develop a sense of rhythm; over time, that'll stabilize your win rate.

I've been practicing this method for over two years now, and it has become muscle memory. Trading is not based on luck, but on a system.
