How to Earn Bitcoin from Price Swings

Active trading on a crypto exchange is one of the fastest ways to grow your BTC stack. Because Bitcoin is a high-risk asset with large intraday moves, smart traders can buy low, sell high and pocket the difference.

Two Types of Analysis

1. Technical: chart patterns, indicators, trend lines, support/resistance.
2. Fundamental: network upgrades, macro news, regulation, sentiment.

Three Market Directions

• Uptrend – higher highs and higher lows.
• Downtrend – lower highs and lower lows.
• Flat / Range – price bounces between clear floor and ceiling.

Range-Bound Weapon: Scalping

When the chart moves sideways, draw horizontal lines at the range’s top and bottom. Sell near resistance, buy near support, take quick profits as price ping-pongs inside the corridor.

Trend-Friend: Trend-Line Bounces

Connect higher lows in an uptrend (or lower highs in a downtrend). Each touch of that diagonal can be an entry point with the trend. A decisive break warns the trend is exhausted—step aside and reassess.

Choose Your Time-Frame

Style	Typical Chart
Day-Trading	1 min – 30 min candles
Swing / Medium-term	1 h – 1 day candles
Position / Long-term	4 h – 1 week candles

Rule of thumb: use the higher time-frame for bias, the lower one for precise entries.

Master Your Mind

Never trade on tilt. Set a risk-per-trade (1-2 % of equity), use stop-losses and never go “all-in” on a single setup. Cold discipline beats hot emotion every time.
