If you don’t understand timeframes, you’re not “wrong” on the chart you’re just trading the wrong lens.

***Educational Post***

What still surprises me is how lightly people treat timeframes.

Timeframes are NOT the same

1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly, Monthly are different worlds, not different candles.

Most traders look at all of them as one chart.
That’s where confusion starts.

Let’s simplify this with Bitcoin 👇

On the Monthly timeframe, $BTC can be bullish with a broader target like 80k → 108k.
That move can take 2–3 months.

But within that same bullish month:
•Weekly price can retrace 98k → 90k
•Or even 90k → 85k

Does that make $BTC bearish?
No.
It’s just weekly structure inside a monthly trend.

Your timeframe decides EVERYTHING

If you trade 1H:
•Holding period = a few hours
•Stop-loss = tight
•Targets = smaller
•Noise = high

If you trade Weekly:
•Holding period = 4–6 weeks
•Stop-loss = wider
•Targets = massive
•Noise = minimal

Same asset.
Same chart.
Completely different trades.

The biggest misconception

$BTC can be:
•Bullish on Monthly
•Bearish on Weekly
•Bullish on Daily
•Bearish on 4H
•Bullish on 1H

All on the same day.

And none of these are wrong.

The real edge

Once you understand:
•Timeframes
•Price action
•Ranges
•Context

You’ll stop asking:

“Why are you longing here?”
“Why are you shorting here?”

And start seeing:

Different trades, different timeframes, same logic.

Understand the concept.
Understand the structure.
That’s when trading starts making sense.

Hope this Helps!
