3.1 Market Background

1）After the interest rate cut expectations materialized, the crypto market underwent a full week of correction. Bitcoin faced resistance below 118,000 USD and then trended downward, hitting a low of 108,600 USD with a significant overall decline. Ethereum performed even weaker, falling consecutively from above 4,600 USD to around 3,800 USD, with a cumulative retracement of nearly 18%.

3.2 Trade Analysis

From September 22 to 26, the crypto market experienced a sharp overall decline, with Ethereum (ETH) showing two distinct drops. The first drop quickly tested the 4,000 USD level, briefly stabilized, but then continued to fall; after losing the 4,000 USD support, ETH further dipped to around 3,800 USD.

From a broader structural perspective, ETH remains one of the strongest-performing major assets in this rally. Due to its prior significant gains, accumulated profit-taking required a pullback for sufficient consolidation. Currently, the price is still running above the upward trendline, with short-term key support levels at 3,850 USD and 3,750 USD. After ETH stabilized above 3,800 USD following a sharp dip, it quickly rebounded. Therefore, a strategy was made to deploy long positions on the pullback in this area, with stop-loss set below the previous low to control risk.

The market then rebounded, and ETH reversed its minor downtrend, with long positions held accordingly. The price climbed all the way back above 4,200 USD. On the 4-hour timeframe, this level shows significant resistance, suggesting short-term correction pressure. Thus, partial profits were taken at this stage, while stop-loss for the remaining positions was moved higher — securing realized gains while still aiming for potential further upside.

3.3 Winning Strategies Summary

Mastering the Mid-Term Advantage: How to Trade Effectively on the 4-Hour Chart

In cryptocurrency and derivatives markets, the 4-hour timeframe is often regarded as the core of “mid-term trading.” It filters out the noise of the 1-hour chart while offering more flexible entry and exit opportunities compared to the daily chart, making it a key reference for swing traders. However, without a clear structural understanding and execution discipline, the 4-hour chart can also lead to confusion. Mastering its trading logic helps traders maintain higher win rates in both trending and ranging markets.

I. Core Value of the 4-Hour Chart

• Bridging daily and short-term trends The 4-hour chart inherits the structure of the daily trend while capturing shorter-term opportunities, serving as a “bridge” between trend-following and swing trading.
• Filtering market noise Compared to 15-minute or 1-hour charts, the 4-hour chart better eliminates false breakouts and emotional volatility.
• Suitable for swing holding Signals on the 4-hour chart typically suggest a 1–5 day holding period, balancing efficiency and tolerance for error.

II. Key Reference Factors

1. Trend structure

• Uptrend: Higher highs and higher lows, with key support at the previous low.
• Downtrend: Lower highs and lower lows, with key resistance at the previous high.

2. Moving averages

• MA20/MA60 are common mid-term moving average combinations.
• Holding above MA20 → short-term trend continuation.
• Breaking below MA60 → heightened risk of trend reversal.

3. Key ranges

• Important consolidation zones are often more visible on the 4-hour chart.
• Breakout and retest confirmations are typical entry points.

III. Practical 4-Hour Trading Methods

1. Trend pullback trading

• In a clear uptrend, wait for a retracement to moving averages or prior support.
• Confirm with candlestick patterns (e.g., hammer, bullish engulfing) before entry.

2.Breakout and retest confirmation

• When a consolidation range is broken with volume, the 4-hour retest often confirms breakout validity.
• Enter once stability is confirmed to capture the start of a new trend.

3. Multi-timeframe confluence

• Clear daily direction → 4-hour pullback signals become more reliable.
• Shorter timeframes (e.g., 1-hour) can refine entries and improve risk/reward.

IV. Take-Profit and Risk Control

• Stop-loss setting

Place stops below the previous low or key moving averages to avoid being triggered by minor fluctuations.

• Partial profit-taking

Take partial profits at resistance zones or once the 1:2 risk/reward ratio is met, while holding the rest for potential continuation.

• Position sizing

Since 4-hour trades are swing-based, avoid going all-in to allow room for scaling and proper risk management.

V. Trading Mindset and Discipline

• Signal confirmation first Don’t enter blindly based on a single candle. Combine trend, moving averages, and pattern confluence.
• Avoid overtrading Signals on the 4-hour chart are limited. If there’s no clear structure, patience is key.
• Consider risk events 4-hour swings are susceptible to macroeconomic data and unexpected news, so fundamental filters should be applied.

The main advantage of the 4-hour timeframe lies in its clarity of trend, reliability of signals, and balanced efficiency. By identifying trend structures, monitoring moving averages and key ranges, applying multi-timeframe analysis, and adhering to strict profit-taking and stop-loss rules, traders can enhance both win rates and capital efficiency in mid-term trading. Only when the 4-hour chart is used as an execution timeframe — not just a prediction tool — can traders navigate the volatile crypto market with stability.
