Why watch 4-hour, 1-hour, and 15-minute candlestick charts?

In the crypto world for 8 years, I used to focus only on the 1-minute chart, my heart racing frequently, always caught in a cycle of gain and loss, often buying high/selling low. Later, I met a big player in the industry, and with a little guidance, I realized it was that simple. Our problem was focusing on just one timeframe. Today, I'll share my commonly used multi-timeframe candlestick trading method in three simple steps: grasping direction, finding entry points, and timing.

1. 4-hour candlestick: determines your overall direction for going long or short

This timeframe is long enough to filter out short-term noise, allowing for a clear view of trends:

• Upward trend: higher highs and higher lows → buy on dips

• Downward trend: lower highs and lower lows → short on rebounds

• Sideways fluctuation: prices oscillate within a range, making it easy to get caught out, not recommended for frequent trading

Remember this: Following the trend increases winning probability, going against it only leads to losses.

2. 1-hour candlestick: used to define ranges and find key levels

Once the overall trend is confirmed, the 1-hour chart can help you find support/resistance:

• Approaching trendlines, moving averages, and previous lows are potential entry points

• Approaching previous highs, important resistance, or the emergence of top patterns indicates it's time to consider taking profits or reducing positions.

3. 15-minute candlestick: only for making the "entry action" later

This timeframe is specifically used for finding entry timing, not for viewing trends:

• Wait for key price levels to show small timeframe reversal signals (engulfing, bottom divergence, golden cross) before acting

• Volume must be increasing; breakthroughs are reliable only then, otherwise, false movements are common.

How to coordinate multiple timeframes?

1. First, determine direction: use the 4-hour chart to decide whether to go long or short.

2. Find entry zones: use the 1-hour chart to outline support or resistance areas.

3. Precisely enter: use the 15-minute chart to find the signals for the final entry.

A few additional points:

• If the directions of several timeframes conflict, it is better to stay out and observe than to take uncertain trades.

• Small timeframes fluctuate quickly, so always use stop-losses to prevent getting repeatedly stopped out.

• The combination of trend + position + timing is much better than blindly guessing at charts.

I have used this multi-timeframe candlestick method for over 7 years, and it is the foundation of stable output. Whether you can use it well depends on whether you are willing to look at more charts and summarize! #内容挖矿升级 #加密市场反弹
