Timing is everything, and when it comes to crypto trading, this is never more true. Whether you’re a seasoned or rookie crypto trader, understanding multiple time frame analysis; knowing what to look for and when to jump in, is critical to earning a profit on your investments.



If you’ve been navigating through your favorite exchange, you will have noticed there are time series charts which can be viewed in monthly, weekly, daily, 4-hour, 2-hour, and 1-hour intervals. Let’s review what multiple time frame analysis can do for you.



Trading style is as diverse as the trader and many carry different sentiments on how to analyze the trending direction of cryptocurrency prices. Honestly, there is no wrong way to do it – but there is a wrong time to jump in. Determining that with pinpoint accuracy is impossible but we all do our best with tools and knowledge at our fingertips.



Let’s use Jack and James as our example traders. Jack views the charts from the daily time frame and sees that BTCUSD is in a bullish trend. James, on the other hand, notices that it is oscillating within a bearish channel on the 4-hour time frame. Both Jack and James are correct because their choice time frame gives them a contrived view.
