After studying the K-line, you will have the opportunity to understand how to earn the first 1 million in the cryptocurrency world!

Why look at the K-line for 4 hours, 1 hour, and 15 minutes?

Many people repeatedly fall into traps in the cryptocurrency market because they only focus on one period.

Today, I will talk about my commonly used multi-period K-line trading method, which consists of three simple steps: grasp the direction, find points, and determine timing.

1. 4-hour K-line: Determines your big direction for going long or short

This period is long enough to filter out short-term noise and clearly see the trend:

• Upward trend: High points and low points rise together → Buy on dips

• Downward trend: High points and low points decline together → Short on rebounds

• Sideways fluctuation: Price oscillates within a range, easily leading to whipsaws; frequent trading is not recommended

Remember this: Following the trend increases your win rate, going against it only loses money.

2. 1-hour K-line: Used to delineate ranges and find key levels

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

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

• If nearing previous highs, significant resistance, or top patterns appear, consider taking profits or reducing positions

3. 15-minute K-line: Only for the final 'trigger action'

This period is specifically used to find entry timing, not to observe trends:

• Wait for small cycle reversal signals (engulfing, bottom divergence, golden cross) at key price levels before entering

• When volume increases, the breakout is reliable; otherwise, it may be a false move.

How to coordinate multiple periods?

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

2. Find the entry zone: Use the 1-hour chart to identify support or resistance areas

3. Precise entry: Use the 15-minute chart to find the last signal before entering.

A few additional points:

• If the directions of several periods conflict, it’s better to stay on the sidelines and not take uncertain trades

• Small periods fluctuate quickly, so always use stop-loss to prevent being repeatedly taken out

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

I have been using this multi-period K-line method for a few years, and it is a stable output foundational setup. Whether you can use it well depends on whether you are willing to look at charts more and summarize more.
