Timeframes

Autossimilarity in $BTC can show the wayThis is a really amazing example of fractal and autossimilarity in CRYPTOCAP:BTC On the panel above, a broadening downard formation in a 2 day timeframe, and on the panel below, the same broadening downward formation, but in the 3 hour timeframe This kind of pattern usually breaks out upward and the target is the height of pattern A increasing volume is expected here to signal the breakout upwards Interesting is that what will happen to the 3 hour timeframe will repeat on the 2 day time frame So keep a close eye to the performance of the short term: because of autossimilarity, long term will copy the movement On short time frame, volume is increasing, signaling a very possible break upwards; on the long time frame volume is making a 'U', but now ascending

Timeframe Tango: Finding Your Trading RhythmWelcome to the thrilling world of timeframes—a place where every minute counts and every candlestick tells a story. You've probably asked yourself a million times, "What's the best timeframe to trade?" Well, buckle up because we're about to dive deep into the mesmerizing world of timeframes and trading strategies! Picture this: timeframes are like puzzle pieces. Lower timeframes, such as the 100 or 500-piece puzzles, are intricate and require patience. Think of them as the fast and furious lanes of trading where every tick matters. Conversely, higher timeframes resemble those 10 or 20-piece puzzles—quicker to solve and offer a broader market perspective. Now, let's talk strategy. It's all about how fast and efficiently you piece those puzzles together. Whether crafting your unique strategy or borrowing a page from the pros, the goal remains: wait for the market to paint your perfect setup. But here's the kicker: you've got to be strategic with your timeframes. Let's break it down with some juicy details! Imagine you're a 9-5 warrior or a student hustling through classes. Your time is precious. So, let's talk hours. How many trade opportunities can you snag in an hour? If you thrive on adrenaline and lightning-fast decisions, the 1- and 5-minute timeframes might be your playground. You're in for a wild ride with 60 to 12 candlesticks printed each hour! Scalping and day trading become your middle names as you seize opportunities left and right. When analyzed correctly, you could see 1-3 opportunities within an hour. But if you've got more wiggle room in your schedule, let's talk swing trading. Picture the 15-minute to minutes—a sweet spot for those seeking a balance between action and analysis. With 4 and 2 candlesticks printed each hour, you've got time to breathe and plan your moves. Now, let's zoom out a bit. Say hello to the 1 and 4-hour timeframes—the realm of short-term swing trading. Here, you're not watching the clock; you're watching the trend unfold over hours and days. With 24 to 6 candlesticks printed in a day, you've got ample opportunities to spot those juicy setups. Think 3-4 trade opportunities a week on the 1-hour timeframe and 1-2 on the 4-hour timeframe. It's the sweet spot between day trading and short-swing trading! Finally, we arrive at the granddaddy of timeframes—the daily chart. Here, we're talking about long-term swings and big-picture analysis. With three to four great opportunities a month, you have time to breathe, plan, and execute precisely. It's like watching the market paint its masterpiece, one candlestick at a time. So, what's your trading style? Are you a scalping sensation, a swing trading maverick, or a long-term visionary? Find the timeframe that fits your schedule like a glove, and let's embark on this epic trading journey together! Catch you on the charts, Shaquan

What timeframes to trade on?Timeframes are crucial. If you get them wrong, the ENTIRE strategy fails. But If you get them right, you can earn a good amount of money. So, let me show you the best ones to trade on. Timeframes are broken into 3 scopes: 1. Macro - This is where you’ll look at a higher timeframe and extract your bias from. It’s your foundation. 2. Micro - This is where you build context for your setup. 3. Entry/Confirmation - This is where you place & manage your trades. For a quick answer, here are the timeframes you can trade on: 👉 Position traders (who hold trades for a quarter) - Monthly as macro, Weekly as micro, Daily as entry/confirmation 👉 Swing traders (who hold trades for 1-2 weeks) - Weekly as macro, Daily/12hr as micro, 8/4hr as entry/confirmation 👉 Intraday traders (who hold trades for 1-2 days) - Daily as macro, 8/4hr as micro, 30/15min as entry/confirmation 👉 Scalpers (who hold trades for under an hour) - 4/1hr as macro, 30/10min as micro, 5min/1sec as entry/confirmation The timeframe is related to the volume in the market. There is a direct correlation between the two. The higher the volume in the market, the higher your timeframe should be. Your macro, micro and entry timeframes will be higher timeframes if the volume is high. They’ll be on lower timeframes if the volume is low. For checking the volume, go to a forex volatility calculator. It will help you check how many pips price is moving everyday which will help you know how much volume is there. The higher the pips, the higher the volume. The higher the volume, the higher your timeframe should be. Please test and experiment with this to find out what suits you best. I hope you got value from this! 😁

🕰️ The 4 Pillars of Trading Timeframes🔷Scalping: Scalping is a trading strategy that involves making multiple quick trades within a short time frame, typically holding positions for just a few minutes. Traders who employ this strategy are referred to as scalpers. The main objective of scalping is to capitalize on small price movements and accumulate small profits that can add up over time. When engaging in scalping, traders focus on short-term charts, such as 1m,5m,15m charts, to identify rapid price fluctuations. They often use technical analysis such as order flow and volume , to spot entry and exit points. The key is to identify highly liquid instruments with tight bid-ask spreads and sufficient volatility. Scalpers must closely monitor their trades and maintain discipline, as the rapid pace of trading can be mentally demanding. Risk management is crucial in scalping and it is advised towards experienced traders that backtest their strategy before taking on scalping. 🔷Day Trading: Day trading involves executing trades within a single trading day, with all positions closed before the market closes. Day traders aim to profit from intraday price fluctuations and take advantage of short-term trends. This style of trading requires active participation and constant monitoring of the market. Day traders typically use charts with shorter time frames, such as 15m,1h,4h to identify patterns and trends. 🔷Swing Trading: Swing trading is a medium-term trading strategy that aims to capture price movements over a few days to several weeks. Swing traders seek to profit from short-term price fluctuations within the context of a larger trend. This approach allows traders to participate in more significant market moves while avoiding the need for constant monitoring. Swing traders typically use 1H,5h or daily charts to identify potential trade setups. They focus on technical analysis tools, such as trendlines, chart patterns, and indicators like moving averages or the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The objective is to enter positions when there is a high probability of a trend reversal or continuation. 🔷Positional Trading: Positional trading, also known as long-term trading or investing, involves holding positions for weeks, months, or even years. Position traders aim to capture larger market trends and ride significant price movements. They often base their decisions on fundamental analysis, considering factors like macroeconomic data, company financials, and market trends. Position traders primarily use higher time frame charts, such as weekly or monthly charts, to identify long-term trends. They rely on fundamental indicators, news events, and market sentiment to make informed trading decisions. 👤 @QuantVue 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

AWW🥹 IT'S FORMING >>MATIC<<A BABY EMA IS FORMING ON MATIC. IT'S SO CUUUUTE🥹🥹 YES, YES TOTALLY BUGGING... BUT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE STARES TOO LONG AT CHARTS. ONE THING ABOUT CRYPTOCURRENCY IS THE FACT THAT THE ASSETS ARE SO YOUNG (EVEN THOUGH THE CONCEPTS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN WORKED ON IN THE BACKGROUND FOR DECADES <<MORE ON THAT LATER. Seeing a little EMA budding on longer timeframe made my day. Shorter timeframes always have EMA's, but long term EMA's take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to form. So happy to see a sprout 🌱.

Gold XAUUSD First, welcome to my humble page. In short, my analysis is based on the nature of the market and the natural movement of the markets between impulse waves and corrective waves. Focusing on entry points with the highest degree of accuracy. As for gold, technically, it is heading to 1947 dollars, then selling it to target the bottom of 1616 dollars. But it will be updated every time due to market change of course. Good luck everyone. I always like to look between the Daily & 24 hour for key levels and enter in on the 4HR / 1Hr /15min timeframes for signals.

simple?this is why i'm macro bull *reminder to pinch/squeeze scales to snap shapes back into place, shoutout to my fav tradingview glitch* i'd posted an idea like this before when i was just a baby, monthly spiral made from 21 tops then visually fit, but i jumped the gun and didn't consider diff orientations, or fit to wicks...so i tried to be more careful here. could also just be confirming my bias lol which is of course the criticism everyone makes with geo / trendlines whatever. but i also wanted to show how the spirals (all made from the 2021 top wicks on their respective timeframes. backwards - november to may. dashed = counterclockwise; solid = clockwise. then visually fit to prior tops/bottoms) look different depending on timeframe, so you shouldn't take them as gospel. also, scale changes them drastically (even when you lock the scale like a good lil degen). but an idea i was toying with is that maybe they call different supports/resistances...like...the weekly spiral calls the early 2022 support. idk, there are so many ways to draw them, and they're just a tool like everything else, which is why confluence with things like fibs and price action is important. i love seeing the symmetry and the harmony, legit fascinated by this stuff en route to cracking the code <3 stay safe reminder looking at 18.5 for retest, then macro bull eng.teancum.es

BTCUSDT short up-to-dateSome correlations between Fibonacci ratios on retracement and AB=CD with oscillators Ehler's Smoothed Stochastic and Even Better Cinewave . Price action below weekly Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA-20) is a strong bearish signal to look forward to a bear trend continuation, assuming that we have an intraday upthrust (distribution) movement and a potential bearish breakout That's a very good point of entry for shorts in the crypto market. I'm maintaining my 14.6% Fibonacci target to the expected Head and Shoulders correction.

🗣 O I L These are levels that I'll be keeping an eye on when dealing with USOIL, and I'll revise as price action progresses. I adapt to the change in money flow. This is a representation of greed in play when it comes to oil. However, I do believe in the coming months things will get very interesting due to price action's placement in the market, things that have taken place in the past that left clues for what can possibly come in the near future along with any fundamentals that can play a part in this as well. As of right now I feel as though it wouldn't be smart to execute any short orders due to the higher perspective showing strong bullish sentiment. I did notice that P.A. is currently in between two daily ranges, so it's not entirely impossible to sell, but I'm sure some would agree to stay on bull's side. What am I waiting to see happen? I'm anticipating for price to reach around $140 per barrel (can possibly take place between July/August) which will then form a double-top from a monthly perspective. That's also where price pivoted back in 2008, the potential profit margin stretches down to the $40 range which can be seen from the 3 & 6 month perspectives. The 1st area where I would look to lock in some profits would be around the $80 price point. Why? That's right above EQ within the monthly ranges that can be seen on the chart. In conclusion, at this time I would simply sit on my hands and wait until price reach key levels I'm interested in to then zero in on smaller perspectives in order to receive the "signal" to execute. Just my thoughts..

Bitcoin expected moves: On The ClockNot a financial advisor; simply sharing my own thoughts on the markets. Bitcoin is now back in the " slow load, implode " territory. I have been minimizing exposure and waiting to catch long bottoms. Observations: HEX.D and ADA.D have lined up with a 8% correction MATIC.D had an amazing rip 12%+ BTC and SPY inverted on each other yesterday Based on my new "Circles of Roundness" theory, we should be expecting some moves along the white lines in the charts. I am expecting that towards the end of that time frame we should see BTC/USD sitting somewhere around the $55,009 mark or so. Do note: this is a new theory I am implementing, so it might take a few tried to get it zero'd in. Trade Zen.

The Daily TimeframeI am commonly asked what is the most important time frame to analyse your pairs on. Which doesn't always result in a simple answer since multiple time frames must be taken into consideration for successful trading e.g. weekly/daily/4h/1h. However, there is the one that is universally considered to be principal and that is the daily time frame. Here are some of the main reasons why so many traders rely on a daily time frame and why you should to: 1️⃣ - Daily time frame shows a global market trend at the same time reflecting a mid-term and short-term perspective allowing the trader catch trend following moves and spot early reversal signs. The simple nature of one candle closure per day keeps things a lot more simple compared to lower timeframes. 2️⃣ - Covering multiple perspectives, the daily time frame is the foundation of the majority of the trading strategies and is the main source of key levels & pattern analysis. 3️⃣ - Filters out news events that happened during the trading day. It shows the composite reaction of the market participants to all the data posted in the economic calendar. 4️⃣ - Daily time frame reflects all trading sessions. Within one single candle, we see the outcome of the Asian, London, and New York Sessions. 5️⃣ - Daily candle filters out all the noise from lower time frames & intraday price fluctuations and sudden spikes & rejections. 6️⃣ - Similar to covering all the trading sessions, daily time frame also mirrors the activities of big players like hedge funds and banks. Showing us the flow & direction of big money. ⚠️ Please note: Despite the daily timeframe being so important for analysis, still do not neglect other time frames. The most accurate trading decision can be made only relying on a combination of intraday and daily time frames.

Just a theory - BTC Extended Timeframes coming into effectAs I explained in an earlier post, we noticed BTC may as well be expanding by between 1.61 - 1.68x each halving. There is also a drop in acceleration (rise in value). We may have missed it as they fit so well into the 4 year cycle theory that currently exists. Correction to 2nd peak, this is set for JAN of 2023, not FEB of 2023, but 1 month is not a focus here, it is more so just to see how accurate this can be. But Here is a model drawn out to scale of a current theory I am working, which supports a 2nd 2 peak cycle event, (The first one not being 64k). This is only a secondary theory at this time, the principle theory is taht 64k was the primary first peak of the 2nd 2 peak cycle. Extended Timefames must be brought into play.

HOPEFULLY BULLS WILL STRIKE IN AND HIT MY TARGET.The first question i always ask myself is "who is in control of price?" that way i can analyze my trrading from a price action point of view. So, who is in control of price on this one? First we have a bearish trend followed by a tiny pull back and then an indecision candle which tells us that the bearish power might transitioning to the bulls. Of course i might be wrong, but that is why i keep my Risk/Reward a 2:1 minimum, that way i only have to be right 40% of the time in order to be profitable. "Trading is not about being right most of the time, its about being profitable" - Anonymous Trading Details: Time Frame: 8hr Entry: Above the high of the indecision candle Stop loss: A few pips below the Indecision Candle Risk/Reward: 2:1 Account Risk: 2%

ETH analysis|Harmonic Patterns | Fibonacci|Gann |Time LengthHarmonic is the name given to a whole of compatible parts that complement each other. The term Harmonic is used in music,mathematics,physics and many other sciences. We also use harmonic patterns in investment strategies. For example, in music, chords are standard patterns. Or radio waves with certain frank as between in physics. In the stock market, we find these frequency levels with fibonacci measurements. Fibonacci works even in music, painting, physics. Because fibonacci is not an equation formulated by research, but nature itself. It's the way the universe talks to us. Here is a form that has become a picture of fibonacci frequencies that speak in harmonic patterns. That harmony never breaks unless some greedy investors break the chart. We can see pulse variations in every harmonic everything that matches the Fibonacci harmony. Everything always has a pulse. In a person's heartbeat, in the stars, in radio waves, in music, and everything else. The more regular these pulses are, the healthier we can think of that thing. Voluminous coins are difficult to manipulate. Therefore, indicator signals flow harmoniously at all times. These signals are the pulse of that coin. If the signals are broken, the coin is either very excited, its emotions are mixed, or it is about to become sick. With Harmonic patterns, we can examine this coin, and with fibonacci data, we can say something about what it is by looking at its medical tests. We can listen to coin heart with sine waves. We can take an X-ray with the Gann data. Candles, on the other hand, are gestures and facial expressions of this coin. It allows you to immediately see their grumpiness or happiness, or to understand if are on special occasions. :) Now let's examine ETH. to ETH's daily timeslot, Navarro drew or shark pattern. I think it was a shark. I expected it to turn down in previous analyses. But he got too excited and kept going up. According to my previous analysis, TP levels of ETH were 2900$ and 1760$ in price. But ETH didn't listen to me, pursuit BTC. :) Thus, only TP 1 of the shark pattern was able to reach its goal. If we examine it as a month, we see that May 2021 is a hit-and-run. As if there was a big manipulation. We don't know, we'll look at the indicators. The number 0.618 is the friend of the number 1.618 and the number 0.382 is the friend of the number 1.27. If measuring Fibonacci from the peak in May is not a mistake, the next target point will be 1.27. That's $ 5,500. But when I do the fibonacci measurement from $ 2790, we see a support at 0.618. In this case, the price target changes to $ 4500. This to me makes more sense. When we make a measurement decidedly ignoring manipulation, I feel as if the target that should be is more accurate. Already Rsi data is now at the level of 80 . This should be equal to 99 at 1.27 levels. That didn't make much sense to me either. Completing 90 I with 1,618 levels will be healthier. Looking at the weekly price levels of the shark pattern that we mentioned earlier, this time we meet with a different pattern. considering that this formation will be completed after a long time, we should not ignore the possibility of support to 1200 price levels in the future. When we do a 4-hour review, we again encounter a harmonic pattern. Whether it's gartley and butterfly , we can get as much as $ 3700 if we agree that both will extend to 1,618. We can think of the return level as 3500. I use the Gann box as a time measurement tool. It usually works well. But if you know where to look Let's look at this time business as a bit of a wave with the Fib circle. we see prices peaking when fib breaks the 0.618 time wave. Trend worked correctly with fibonacci levels of 0.618. And in the future, if this measurement works correctly, I expect to see $ 6400 in 1.618 fib time and 1.618 fib levels. Are you asking about date? 26June 2020 :) If i can do the date analysis correctly and 26 june the etherium is $ 6400 , you're invited to my birthday on June 26th. Note:This is not investment advice.

Bitcoin: Multiple time frame analysisWhat is your favorite time frame? When you finally decide on your preferred time frame, that’s when the fun begins! SHORT-TERM (SWING) PERSPECTIVE: "Earning assets with trades. Looking to sell near the top to buy near the bottom.". Short-term traders use hourly time frames and hold trades for several hours to a week. ADVANTAGE: More opportunities for trades. Less chance of losing months. DIFFICULT: HARD - The smaller the time frame, the greater the difficulty. Study the market daily and be prepared for the worst. MEDIUM-TERM Mix of shorts and longs. It's my favorite. LONG-TERM Trades usually from a few weeks to many months, sometimes years. PERSPECTIVE: "Buy and to forget and when it falls, buy more." ADVANTAGE: Don’t have to watch the markets intraday.Fewer transactions mean fewer times to pay the spread. More time to think through each trade. DIFFICULT: EASY - With cash in reserve to take advantage of opportunities, it's easy.
