In the crypto world over the years, I've seen too many people fixate on a single Candlestick time frame, only to be repeatedly taught a lesson by the market. Today, I will share a valuable practical skill - the Multi-Timeframe Candlestick Trading Method! Just three steps will help you lock in trends, levels, and timing!

Step 1: 4-hour Candlestick - The Cornerstone of Trends
This is your navigator, filtering out intraday noise to see the big direction clearly:
Upward trend: High points and low points gradually rise. A pullback is an opportunity for a low buy!

Downtrend: Highs and lows continue to move lower. A rebound is a bait; look for opportunities to short!

Consolidation: The price fluctuates within a range. It is advisable to wait and avoid frequent operations to save on transaction fees.
Core: Go with the trend! Counter-trend operations carry a high risk.

Step 2: 1-hour Candlestick - Locate Key Battleground
After determining the main direction, use it to accurately delineate the battle area and look for support and resistance:
Support level (potential buying point): trend line, moving average, near previous low.

Resistance level (potential selling point/profit taking point): previous high, key resistance level, combined with top pattern.
Step 3: 15-minute Candlestick - Capture the best entry opportunity
Not for judging trends! Only used to wait for confirmation signals in key areas:

Signal observation: Key price levels show engulfing patterns, bottom divergences, golden crosses, and other reversal signals.

Look at the volume: A breakout must be accompanied by an increase in trading volume! A breakout without volume is likely a false signal.
Signal appears, execute decisively!

Multi-timeframe combination practical mantra:
Set Direction: Determine Trend (Bullish/Bearish) on 4-Hour Chart.

Draw area: 1-hour chart locks in support/resistance area.

Waiting for signals: The 15-minute chart is waiting for a reversal signal confirmation in a key area for precise entry.
Blood and Tears Pitfall Avoidance Guide:

Cycle conflict? Stop! When different cycle directions contradict each other, it is safest to stand aside with an empty position.

Stop-loss is strict in small timeframes! The 15-minute fluctuations are fast, so be sure to set a stop-loss to prevent repeated losses.

All three are indispensable! The trend (4H), position (1H), and timing (15min) are interconnected; don't guess blindly based on feelings!

This set of methods is the core of my practical experience for over two years and has become second nature in trading. There is no holy grail in the crypto world; the key lies in reviewing and summarizing to internalize the methods.
