When I first started trading cryptocurrencies, like most beginners, I kept my eyes glued to the 1-minute K-line, and whenever the market moved, I would panic—fear of missing out during a rally, fear of liquidation during a drop—being led by each candlestick.

Until an experienced trader pointed out to me: "Focusing on just one cycle is like a blind man touching an elephant," and only then did I start to seriously learn the "Multi-Cycle Analysis Method."

This approach is simple but very effective: the 4-hour K-line filters out noise and reveals the main trend. In an uptrend, buy on dips; in a downtrend, short on rebounds; in sideways markets, patiently wait for a breakout. The 1-hour K-line is used to precisely identify key support and resistance levels, clarifying specific entry and exit zones. The 15-minute K-line is where actual execution happens—capturing entry signals, observing reversal patterns, and confirming volume.

The core logic is: 4-hour determines the direction → 1-hour defines the range → 15-minute waits for signals. When all three cycles align in the same direction, the win rate is highest.

A few practical tips: if cycles conflict, take a break; always set stop-losses on smaller cycles; review your trades daily. Using this method for many years, I transformed from anxious, chaotic trading into a systematic trading mindset, and I no longer get tossed around by 1-minute oscillations.
