In this short video, the creator from The Art of Crypto explains what a daily bias is and how it guides trading decisions. He notes that a bearish daily candle close signals a short‑bias for the day, meaning he will look for short opportunities. He emphasizes that a bias is merely a directional cue derived from a higher‑timeframe chart, not an actual trade. The purpose of establishing a bias is to provide clear market direction before refining trade ideas on lower timeframes, because without knowing whether to be long or short, lower‑timeframe analysis is ineffective.

Taking a look at the daily bias. Now, the daily bias at the moment, because the candle closed bearish, it means that I'm going to be looking for shorts today. And that is the definition of a bias. So many people get this wrong where when they talk about, oh, the higher timeframe bias or like a daily bias, they assume that it's supposed to be a trade. But no, the bias is literally just direction. After all, the entire point of having a higher timeframe is so that you can understand direction before you go into a lower timeframe to, you know, refine a trade idea out of that direction. But all trades start having a bias because if you don't even know if should be going long or if you should be going short, it's kind of hard to do anything on the lower timeframes.
