Higher timeframes like weekly and daily charts provide essential information about overall market direction, while lower timeframes like 15-minute and 5-minute charts show intraday movements. Traders should always analyze the higher timeframe first to understand the main trend before referring to lower timeframes, as these short-term movements can be confusing pullbacks that contradict the higher timeframe trend if viewed in isolation. Analyzing multiple timeframes together avoids being misled into counter-trend positions that do not align with the overall market direction.

The white line/movement is HTF movement. First thing we look on the
chart is HTF to know market direction. The Green line/movement is LTF movement. Don’t directly switch to LTF and see the market. Always look and analyze market first at HTF. If you look at green line movement i.e. LTF movement you will get confuse where the market is going. The green line movement is a pullback which is in LTF. This is uptrend but for a certain time only cause HTF is in downtrend, overall market is in downtrend. Market will flow in a wave creating HH, HL, LH, LL but you will get caught in wrong direction if you switch to lowertimeframe only.
