Building a Bias with the Weekly and Daily Timeframe Jumping into 5-minute charts without a directional bias is suicide. Top traders in 2025 begin with the Weekly and Daily, forming a bird’s-eye view before they hunt on the lower timeframes. Here’s how it’s done: Weekly: Gives you the macro swing points. Look for BOS, EQ, and where price is in premium/discount. Are we trending or ranging? Daily: Sharpen your view. Mark CHoCHs, OBs, and clear FVGs. This is your bias engine. If the daily is bullish, you trade lower timeframe pullbacks long. Once bias is set, drop to 1H/15M for entries. If price aligns with HTF direction and takes out liquidity, it’s green light. This structure prevents overtrading, revenge trades, and trading against the flow. Remember: smart traders aren’t reacting to the chart — they’re building narrative, top-down. That’s how you shift from scalping noise to strategic precision.
