Unlock Trading Success with Multi-Timeframe MasteryIn trading, particularly in the Forex market, a well-defined strategy is crucial for consistent profitability. One of the most effective techniques used by successful traders is multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis. By examining price action across different timeframes (e.g., daily, 4-hour, 1-hour), traders gain a clearer understanding of market structure, trend direction, and optimal entry/exit points. This article explores how MTF analysis works, its benefits, and practical steps to implement it in your trading.
🔍1. Analyzing a Pair Across Multiple Timeframes for Clearer Trend Direction
The foundation of MTF analysis lies in identifying the major and minor trends. By analyzing at least two timeframes, traders can align their strategies with the broader market direction while fine-tuning entries on shorter timeframes.
⚡The High Wave Cycle (HWC) Approach
To begin, determine your High Wave Cycle (HWC), which depends on your trading strategy and timeframe. For instance:
If you trade on the daily timeframe, your HWC might be the monthly chart.
If you trade on the 1-hour timeframe, your HWC could be the weekly chart.
The HWC helps you identify the major trend. For example, on the daily chart, you might analyze the trend using Dow Theory, pinpoint key support and resistance levels, and identify trendlines or patterns. This gives you a clear picture of the market’s broader direction.
Once the HWC is defined, give it significant weight when analyzing lower timeframes for trade setups. For instance, if the daily chart (HWC) shows a downtrend, you’d prioritize bearish setups on the 1-hour chart, even if a minor uptrend appears.
Example: SOLUSDT Trade Setup
Consider a scenario where the 1-hour chart shows a strong uptrend. The price breaks a key resistance level and a descending trendline, suggesting a potential long position.
However, checking the daily chart..
(HWC) reveals a clear downtrend. According to Dow Theory, a major trend reversal requires a confirmed break above the previous high (e.g., $150). Since this hasn’t occurred, the market remains bearish.
In this case, MTF analysis guides your strategy:
Reduce position size to lower risk, as you’re trading against the major trend.
Take profits early, as the price could reverse at any moment.
Avoid overtrading by limiting the number of positions until the trend change is confirmed.
This approach ensures your trades are aligned with the bigger picture, minimizing losses from false signals.
🎯2. Spotting Entries and Exits by Confirming Trends Across Timeframes
MTF analysis not only enhances risk management but also improves the precision of your entries and exits. By confirming signals across timeframes, you can filter out noise and focus on high-probability trades.
Example: Bitcoin (May 15, 2021)
Let’s rewind to May 15, 2021, during Bitcoin’s post-bull run correction. On the daily chart (HWC), the price formed lower highs and lows, breaking a key support level, signaling a bearish trend and a potential exit for long positions. This indicates that spot traders should sell, and swing traders on lower timeframes should focus exclusively on short positions.
On the 1-hour chart, you might spot a minor pullback, tempting a long trade. However, MTF analysis reminds you to align with the daily downtrend, so you’d only consider short setups. This disciplined approach prevents you from trading against the major trend, improving your win rate.
📊The Medium Wave Cycle (MWC) for Added Clarity
Between the HWC and lower timeframes lies the Medium Wave Cycle (MWC), which provides an intermediate perspective. For example, if your HWC is the daily chart, the MWC might be the 4-hour chart. The MWC helps confirm the major trend’s strength or detect early signs of reversals before zooming into lower timeframes for entries. By checking the MWC, you can filter out noise and ensure your trades align with both the major and intermediate trends.
💡Conclusion
Multi-timeframe analysis is a game-changer for traders seeking consistency and precision. By combining the major trend from your HWC, the intermediate perspective from your MWC, and minor trends on lower timeframes, you can make informed decisions, manage risk effectively, and time your trades with confidence.
Start by defining your HWC and MWC, analyzing the major trend, and aligning your entries and exits with multiple timeframes.

Privacy matters, and it will cost you in the futureGood day Investor and traders,
When the criminals run show, they definitely don't want you to know it.
Privacy is a double edged sword. However, just because criminals use it doesn't mean it should shunned upon. Criminals also wear clothes and use curtains. Both are fashion statement second, but serve as privacy first. Enough of my opinion, the chart speaks for its self.
Other than my additions, this is a naked chart of XRM on the weekly. It shows a very distinct patterns of how it moves.
XMR is another coin that was in my thesis from a couple years back in the bear market of 2022 that was the "lengthening or alternating" altcoin cycles. Another cycle that looks like it want to repeat, just much more drawn out. I do believe it will repeat, it might take 10-20 years or so to do so. The next big phase of privacy might have to have people getting a taste of CBDC or UBI, before they realize how much it will, or most likely could infringe upon their privacy. The chart shows early investors already knew this. Look at that move from 2016 to 2017 25 cents to $480 dollars. WOW, that rivaled XRP's big move!!! The key pattern here is the initial move then the big correction, the retest (double top) and how it moves with the fib levels. I have highlighted this in the chart with the Monero XMR logo and and a circle then with the yellow rectangle. Its the same pattern just waaaay drawn out. So, after this double top M then correction, marks the key before price explosion. IMO, I don't think it's and "IF" it happens, but "WHEN" it happens. These types patterns are what sparked my original thesis on these coins. IMO there is a reason other than just profits, early investor recognized the eventual use case, just like in Bitcoin.
Let me know what you think in the comments.
Kind regards,

XMR: I was there, Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago...In the crypto space, it's quite difficult to talk about long-term trading because very few coins actually survive for a long time and continue to show cyclical dynamics. But when such coins do appear, their setups can be published in a textbook on technical analysis.
On the weekly chart, we see a formed Wyckoff accumulation structure with almost all the features inherent to this structure on the chart.
We can see how smart money accumulated their positions from mid-2022, conducted a local rally in early 2023, thus forming a range in which we have been for almost 2 years .
This was possible due to the negative sentiment around the coin (tightening regulatory screws, delisting from a number of exchanges, including Binance on February 20, 2024 ) and the lack of speculative hype around XMR.
However, the price has now broken out of the range and confidently consolidated above it, and right now there is a good opportunity in terms of Risk/Reward to go long on XMR.
It should be noted that the trade will be positional, with a horizon of more than 6+ months. However, the wait may be justified because the volume profile on the chart does not illustrate large "walls," i.e., potential seller pressure across the entire price range up to the ATH . KRAKEN:XMRUSD
Bitcoin's next targets are 140K and 250K !This analysis is an update of the analysis you see in the "Related publications" section
Are Bitcoin's mid-term targets still valid?
First of all, please review the previous analysis
In our last analysis, we mentioned that if there was any drop, it would likely be towards the resistance line that had been broken, and we identified the pullback zone around the 77K channel.
Now, based on the available data, the pullback has been successful, and Bitcoin's target is to move toward the 130-140K range. A 3D pattern has formed, and the third drive could complete within this range, after which Bitcoin may enter a corrective phase.
But what about the second target | 250K?
Why are we considering this target? There are several reasons:
First, the bullish wave in gold was preventing capital from flowing into cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin. Now, gold is reaching the end of its bullish wave, which could lead to significant liquidity flowing into crypto and Bitcoin.
Second, Bitcoin's channel structure remains very bullish. If substantial liquidity enters the market, not only could the 250K target be achieved, but Bitcoin might even reach higher levels.
GOLD REMAINS BULLISH ON LOWER TIMEFRAME - H4Despite posting the weekly indecision on gold, the metal remains bullish on the lower timeframe like H4 which is yet to break it's bullish structure. And with the rejection followed by the bullish candle before the close last trading week, XAUUSD likely will continue to rally up when market opens for trade next week.
N.B!
- XAUUSD price might not follow the drawn lines . Actual price movements may likely differ from the forecast.

DOGE Daily MA Hints and CluesDOGEUSD Daily Outlook: Signs of Accumulation?
Thanks for taking the time to check out my analysis on DOGEUSD. Let’s dive in.
Most traders are familiar with moving averages and crossover signals — and while these are often viewed as lagging indicators, I’ve found that using multiple moving averages together can offer much clearer insights, especially when paired with other supporting tools.
On this chart, I’m using a combination of simple moving averages (SMA) and exponential moving averages (EMA). I’ll break down the specific MAs I'm using in a follow-up post, but for now, I want to highlight what the moving average structure is showing us right now — and how it compares to similar price action in the past.
Take a look at the yellow arrows on the chart:
The arrow on the right marks the current price position relative to the moving averages.
The arrow on the left points to a similar setup from the past.
As the old saying goes: “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.”
The last time DOGEUSD price action sat in this zone, we saw about 45 to 50 days of consolidation and chop before the market broke into a strong parabolic move higher. Projecting that same timeframe forward puts us somewhere around mid-June.
While nothing is guaranteed in the markets, this chart suggests that accumulation around this zone could present a favorable risk-reward setup for a potential run in the near to mid-term.
My Approach:
I began accumulating a position today and plan to add on pullbacks if the opportunity presents itself.
As always, this is not financial advice — just sharing my personal outlook and strategy. Wishing you all success out there — stay patient, stay sharp.
With Last Trading Week Indecision Next Week Will be BIG for GoldGold shows indecision after the close of trading hours for last week, and with the long sellers' wick exhibited on the candlestick, XAUUSD will require a huge geopolitical uncertainty news for price to continue to rise. A further rejection will drag gold's price to its mean.

ETHThe chart looks like Bitcoin’s movement in 2020. I think it will rise to $4,000 by autumn. If it breaks that level, we could see $8,000–$10,000 by 2026, and and possibly even reach $14,000.
At the moment, it’s hard to believe this forecast, but the market can move any way, and there’s always a chance this scenario could happen.

DYM New Update (3D)It seems a fractal pattern is repeating. The red boxes represent the drop waves, while the green boxes indicate the sideways waves.
It appears that the second drop wave, with over a 92% decline, has ended, and the price has entered a trading range phase.
The price corrections can be considered as opportunities for buy/long positions, and the top of the red box can be regarded as the peak of this wave.

[ TimeLine ] Gold 28-29 April 2025Hello everyone,
📅 Today is Friday, April 25, 2025
I will be using the High-Low price levels formed on the following dates as reference points for potential trade entries:
📌 April 28, 2025 (Monday)
📌 April 28 & 29, 2025 (Monday & Tuesday)
🧠 Trading Plan & Notes:
✅ Gold has broken its ATH multiple times over the past two weeks—volatility remains high
✅ Gold has significant reversal more than 2000pips from its ATH 3500 to 3260
⚠️ If the formed range is big, reversal entries or trades based on Fibonacci levels may be more appropriate
✅ I will personally trade both signals as part of my ongoing research and strategy
⚠️ If you're unsure or risk-averse, consider skipping April 28 & 29 signal
📋 Execution Plan:
🔹 Wait for the price range from the candles above to fully form (marked with green lines)
🔹 Entry will be triggered upon breakout, with a 60-pip buffer
🔹 If the trade hits Stop Loss (SL), switch direction and double the position size on the next valid entry for potential recovery

SUI: History Rhyming? A Potential 118% Repeat Pattern in PlayKEY POINTS:
- SUI/USDT previously formed a consolidation pattern with structured higher lows.
- This setup led to a strong breakout rally, resulting in a 118% price increase.
- The current price action is showing a very similar consolidation and breakout structure.
- A projected move could mirror the previous breakout, targeting a similar 118% gain.
- Key resistance levels overhead could act as major targets if the pattern plays out.
- Although history appears to be repeating, no two market cycles are exactly the same — caution is advised.
Traders should closely monitor for confirmation signs and always apply proper risk management. #paldogs
