Everyone who understands K-line charts knows that making the first million is never about luck, but truly about accumulated strength.

Do you know why it's so easy to lose money in the crypto world? It's not because of insufficient effort, but because of a narrow perspective. Focusing only on one cycle, not understanding the direction, misjudging the position, or missing the right timing—playing like this, losing money is inevitable.

When I trade, I habitually look at three cycles simultaneously to gradually analyze the market. I've used this method for years and found the patterns.

**Start with the 4-hour chart**, which determines which side you're on. If the trend is upward, position yourself at lower levels; if the trend is downward, patiently wait for a rebound. Encounter sideways consolidation? Honestly, the smartest move is to observe calmly and avoid reckless operations. Choosing the wrong direction means all other actions are just losing money.

**Once the direction is confirmed, switch to the 1-hour chart**. This cycle helps you precisely locate support and resistance levels. True trading should happen near these key points; staying away from these positions essentially puts you on the opposite side of your opponent.

**Finally, look at the 15-minute chart**, which is used to time your entry. When the price reaches the right level, reversal signals appear, and volume picks up—only then should you act. No signals? Then keep waiting. This isn't passivity; it's risk control.

How do these three cycles coordinate? The larger cycle sets the overall direction, the medium cycle determines the position, and the small cycle manages entries and exits. If the signals from multiple cycles are inconsistent, the best choice is to stay in cash.

Small-cycle fluctuations are fast, so always set stop-losses in advance. Don’t get wiped out by the market, and don’t fight against it. Follow the big trend, wait for the right levels, and seize the right moment—this system relies on patience and repeated review, not guesswork.

The big market trend in crypto is just ahead. To catch the main upward wave of a bull market, what you need is this kind of methodology and discipline.

It seems to be the same old multi-cycle theory, but the problem is that most people can't even understand a 1-hour chart. Three-cycle sounds impressive, but in reality, it's no different from gambling. This set of theories has been overused for a long time. Few who truly make millions dare to write like this.

That's correct. Multi-cycle analysis is indeed a fundamental skill, but very few people actually manage to execute it effectively.

It sounds good, but how many actually follow through? I've seen too many people who shout about discipline every day but still end up chasing gains and selling in panic.

In short, it's a lazy trading method that handles everything in three cycles. It sounds easy but is hard to actually do. --- Holding a vacant position is also trading, which many people fail to understand. --- It's another three-cycle theory, a common cliché. The key is still discipline in stop-loss. --- Wrong direction indeed means everything is over, but what he said is not wrong; it just feels like something is missing. --- After so many years of watching, I still can't make a million, and I feel the problem isn't in the methodology. --- It's really easy to get impulsive during sideways trading, and this hit me. --- When signals are inconsistent, stay out of the market. It sounds right, but when the time comes, no one can resist. --- Replaying the analysis repeatedly is effective, but most people can't stick to it for a month. --- Isn't it a bit funny to learn these only when the bull market arrives? Realizing it now feels a little late. --- Support and resistance levels—listening to the same person talk about them a thousand times still doesn't get it right, let alone judging for oneself.
