People often ask me: "Why are your trades always so stable?" Honestly, there’s no black technology involved; the core is simply not to operate recklessly based on a single timeframe.



Many people in the crypto world fail because of this. Focusing on just one cycle, getting repeatedly shaken out in choppy markets, chasing highs and selling lows becomes the norm, and eventually, their judgment of market trends becomes more and more confused.

I’ve been using a multi-timeframe K-line analysis method for over five years, and today I want to share it with everyone. Whether you’re new to the scene or have been losing money for a long time, following this logic can help you avoid many unnecessary detours.

**First, look at the 4-hour chart to determine the main direction**

If the candlesticks are continuously making new highs, and the lows are gradually rising, that’s a clear uptrend. Don’t rush during pullbacks; just find a bottom and slowly enter the market. Conversely, if the highs are gradually declining and the lows are also sliding, that’s a downtrend. Don’t dream of rebounds; less trading means more profit.

If you encounter sideways movement, stay put. Frequent entries and exits are not only futile but also cost you a lot in fees. Without a clear direction, reckless trading is pointless. Trading against the trend is even more deadly.

**Use the 1-hour chart to lock in key levels**

Once the main trend is confirmed, the 1-hour chart comes into play. Use it to mark support and resistance levels and observe the moving averages. For example, in an uptrend, if bullish candles are steadily staying above the 20-day moving average, that’s a reliable entry signal. But if the price hits a previous high and can’t break through, it’s likely to pull back. At that point, shut up and don’t hold onto false hopes.

**Use the 15-minute chart to catch the best timing**

The final step is to use the 15-minute chart to seize real opportunities. Wait for engulfing patterns, bullish divergences at the bottom, or moving average crossovers, especially when accompanied by increased volume. That’s the real deal. Breakouts on low volume are often traps—don’t fall for them.

My trading principle is quite simple: trend must be correct, entry points must be appropriate, and signals must be clear—missing any one of these is a no-go. If you always struggle to identify the trend or miss key levels, send me your position chart, and I’ll help you clarify your thinking step by step.

Once you master the multi-timeframe analysis method and develop the habit of trading according to rules, profits will come naturally. Capital allocation, timing, and rhythm control—all of these fall into place effortlessly.

Hey, this theory makes sense, but how many people can actually apply it in real life?

The 4-hour chart determines the direction, the 1-hour chart checks the position, and the 15-minute chart finds signals... This logic is not wrong, but in actual operation, liquidity gaps are the real killers. Multi-timeframe analysis sounds perfect, but slippage and spreads in the crypto market often ruin the entire plan. What everyone should really focus on is the liquidity depth of the trading pair, rather than obsessing over which timeframe. Does it seem like just throwing out a position chart can clarify the thinking? Have you heard of arbitrage bots? They’ve already mastered this set of strategies. Speaking of which, at 3 a.m. while watching the market, I found that the price difference of the same trading pair across different DEXs exceeded 0.8%, which is truly abnormal volatility... This guy’s multi-timeframe theory is somewhat powerless in the face of high slippage. To put it nicely, it’s stable profit; to be blunt, it’s just good luck catching a market with sufficient liquidity. True market efficiency has long been fully priced in.

That's right, multi-cycle is the true way, the single-cycle approach has long been taught and understood by the market.

That's right, I just got stuck on the single cycle. Now I'm using a 4-hour + 1-hour dual cycle, and I feel much clearer.

In simple terms, don't chase or kill, just keep the rhythm. --- I've used this multi-cycle theory before, but the key is having execution power; otherwise, no matter how many candlestick charts you look at, it's all pointless. --- Honestly, mastering stop-loss and patience is more effective than any indicator. --- Sounds good, but can you really do it in actual trading? It seems like 99% of people can't. --- Wait, does your method really work in extreme market conditions? I had a blow-up last year. --- The phrase "sit tight during sideways movement" really hit me; it's the easiest way to get repeatedly chopped up by transaction fees. --- I've tried the combination of golden cross with volume, and it’s definitely more reliable than just looking at moving averages. --- I think it depends on the individual. Some make money with this method, while others still lose. The difference is probably in mindset.

Sounds good, but multi-cycle analysis ultimately still relies on experience. Beginners following the steps can also easily make mistakes.
