How to Analyze a Crypto Coin Across Every Timeframe

11 November 20267 min readBy Alex Marzell, founder of CoinGPT

To analyze a crypto coin properly, check every timeframe, not just the one you happened to open. Read the overall lean, find the one timeframe that disagrees and why, and only then plan the trade with a stop. Here's how to do that in seconds with CoinGPT's Single Coin view, on Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and Solana from 11 November 2026.

Why one chart isn't enough

On the afternoon of 11 November 2026 the Scanner gave Bitcoin an 8 out of 10: a strong long on the 30-minute chart. Checked across every timeframe, the picture was a lot weaker. That's the problem with analysing a coin on one chart: the timeframe you happen to open decides your trade, and the one you skip can be the one pointing the other way.

By hand, you'd open the weekly and check the trend, the momentum, the volume and the candles. Then the daily, the 4-hour, the hourly, all the way down to the 5-minute. That's eight charts and dozens of checks for one coin, so most people stop after one or two and never see the timeframe that disagrees.

Single Coin: every timeframe at once

Single Coin is a tab inside the CoinGPT Scanner. Pick any coin or stock and it checks 29 conditions on every timeframe, then shows two things:

  • The verdict across all timeframes. Long or short, strong or slight, or no clear lean, on a slider from strong short to strong long. Higher timeframes count for more: the weekly and daily weigh three times as much as the 30-minute.
  • One row per timeframe. Each shows its side and a score from 0 to 10 for how much evidence agrees, the same score as the Scanner's setups. It is not a probability and it is not a win rate.

Bitcoin, just before 4pm: Long, slight lean. The 30-minute scored 8.0 and the 5-minute 5.1. The hourly and daily leaned long, but only just. The 4-hour leaned short.

Tap a row to see why

On Bitcoin's 30-minute, three signal types agreed: a MACD cross up, a volume spike and a bounce off a Fibonacci level. The next timeframe up agreed, and it fired on that candle. Not sure what a signal means? Tap it and it explains itself, with the bullish and bearish versions and what it means on its own. A Fibonacci bounce, for example, is a level to watch, not a signal by itself. The chart button opens that timeframe so you can check it with your own eyes.

Find the chart that disagrees

This is the most useful part. The Trade Agent reads every row and writes it up in plain English. On Bitcoin it said the 4-hour was the only clear disagreement, pointing short on a MACD cross down.

That's the chart that can stop you out. Go long on the 30-minute and you're buying against the 4-hour. It doesn't mean don't. It means know it before you press buy, and let it change your size.

Sometimes the answer is wait

XRP and Solana both came back as no clear lean. On XRP the weekly leaned short while the daily and 4-hour leaned long, and the Trade Agent's call was to wait for them to line up. So skip it for now. A coin you don't trade is still a decision.

Ethereum was the cleanest of the four: Long, slight lean, with five timeframes leaning long and only the weekly pointing short.

Turn it into a plan with a stop

When a coin looks right, press Get setup. It sends that timeframe to the Trade Agent, which drafts the plan. For Bitcoin on the hourly: a long at 74,005, a stop at 73,400 and a target at 75,200, risking about 1 to make 2.

Then read the heads up. The Trade Agent also checks the trend itself, and here it said the daily trend was still pointing lower even though the daily signals leaned long, so this hourly long fought the bigger direction. The full analysis said what to watch: an hourly candle finishing above the range top near 74,500 means the move is on, and one finishing below the stop means the idea is wrong. How to judge a stop yourself is in where to put your stop loss, and how much to put on it is in how much to risk per trade.

One mistake to avoid: don't go looking for the timeframe that agrees with you. If you want to be long, there's always a chart that says long. Read the whole page, and let the disagreement change your size, or your mind.
The routine for any coin
  1. Pick the coin.
  2. Read the lean across every timeframe.
  3. Find the timeframe that disagrees, and read why.
  4. Get the setup, and check the stop before you trade.

Questions

Check every timeframe, not just one. Read the overall lean, find the timeframe that disagrees and why, then plan the trade with an entry, a stop where the idea is wrong, and a target worth the risk.
The timeframes disagree enough that neither side wins, for example a weekly leaning short while the daily and 4-hour lean long. Waiting for them to line up is a valid decision.
Higher ones. The weekly and daily count three times as much as the 30-minute, the 4-hour twice as much, and the 5-minute half as much.

This guide is for education only and is not financial advice. AI analysis can be wrong, and in a fast market price can move past a stop. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Review every setup before you trade.
