A bearish daily candle creates a short bias, which filters market direction but isn't a trade signal itself. Use the daily timeframe to set direction, then drop to lower timeframes to find specific entries. Without that bias, lower-timeframe analysis has no focus.
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.
