Mastering Market Trends: A Deep Dive into Technical Analysis Using Multiple Time Frames by Brian Shannon

Step 1 – Determine the Long-Term Trend (Daily Chart)

• Price above the 50 SMA and 200 SMA → Bullish.
• Recent swing lows making higher lows → Confirmed uptrend.
• Key support: 50 SMA (~$170) and recent VPOC ($168).

Decision: Only look for long setups.

The Three Key Time Frames According to Shannon

Shannon popularized a simple yet powerful structure: Book Summary: Technical Analysis Using Multiple Time Frames

1. The Longer-Term Trend (The “Map”) – Daily or Weekly chart Price above the 50 SMA and 200 SMA → Bullish

   • Defines the overall market direction.
   • Identifies major support/resistance zones.
   • Helps you answer: Is this market bullish, bearish, or ranging?

2. The Intermediate Trend (The “Compass”) – 60-minute or 4-hour chart Decision: Only look for long setups

   • Shows the prevailing move within the larger trend.
   • Offers high-probability entry zones (pullbacks, breakouts).
   • Aligns trade management with the bigger picture.

3. The Short-Term Timing (The “Magnifying Glass”) – 5-minute or 15-minute chart

   • Fine-tunes entries and exits.
   • Spots short-term momentum or exhaustion.
   • Avoids buying at the exact top of a micro-rally.

“Price moves in trends, and those trends exist across multiple time frames. The trader who synchronizes all three gains a statistical edge.” — Brian Shannon
