Don't remind me again today

Many people have heard the saying: "Think big, act small," but not many truly understand it. In fact, this concept is not complicated at all.


The so-called "looking at the big picture" means starting from the higher time frame K-line to confirm whether the current market trend is bullish, bearish, or sideways.
"Doing small" means switching to a smaller timeframe to look for entry opportunities after the direction on a larger timeframe is clear.
There are two core points to remember:
First, big and small are relative.
For example, if you are doing swing trading, using daily charts for the big picture and hourly charts for the smaller time frame;
But if you are a short-term trader, then 1 hour is big, and 5 minutes is small.
The key is to let "small-scale operations" serve the "large-scale direction."
Second, there are two common usages for "making big small":
One method is to confirm the trend on a higher timeframe and then look for entry signals on a lower timeframe, using the higher timeframe to determine the exit; this is the logic of trend trading.
Another method is to set a direction at a large level while entering at a small level, using small-level signals for take profit and stop loss. This is the logic of swing trading.
Everyone look at the chart below, which is a 1-hour level diagram of a big pie.
After the consolidation of the daily chart on the left, the price broke through the previous high of 112000, confirming a trend reversal to bullish.
The 1-hour K-line on the right formed a triangular consolidation before the breakout. Entering after the breakout is a typical "think big, act small" logic. #加密市场回调 $BTC $GT $ETH
