The 1-hour timeframe can be your best ally when trading $ETH. Here's the thing—you don't need to overthink it. Just follow the trend and respect your invalidation levels. If the price closes below that key support, your thesis is broken and it's time to step back.

After the first impulse move, the risk-reward setup starts getting trickier. Holding through multiple breaches means you're essentially gambling on directional continuation without a clear edge. That's when the math stops working in your favor.

The 1-hour chart sounds good, but as soon as the support level breaks, I'll run immediately. I don't want to gamble on that move.

Basically, the 1-hour chart is a gambler's paradise. When it breaks, just run. If you don't have the execution power for that, why bother trading coins?

If the support level breaks, run. This is the most important point; many people get caught up in greed and lose.

Honestly, the 1-hour chart feels like a psychological game. Everyone knows to run when it breaks, but the hard part is not being greedy.

Don't make it so complicated; just hold the support level and that's it.

That's right, stop-loss is really a lifesaver; so many people end up losing everything because they refuse to admit defeat at that critical moment.

But honestly, I don't believe it's possible to reliably capture hourly-level fluctuations; it's too easy to get caught.

It's that kind of late realization of a breakout theory again. I should have cut losses long ago but kept fooling myself into thinking I had an edge...

Once the support level is broken, you have to run. Don't be damn greedy.
