Well here's the thing. I never trade off of weekly or monthly's for day trading, UNLESS that chart is active. For example go look at a weekly / monthly. Most of the time it's just straight up with some pull backs. Really hard to obtain an edge from that.
However pull up a weekly now and see how active it is compared to other times. It's actually moving. The importance of the size and moves of it being "active" is because can reasonably assume in order for a chart that larger to move this much, there has to be larger players with very active selling for us to go a full 8 months like this, with consistent and purposeful selling.
This isn't like 2020 covid where went straight down and literally almost straight back up on the weekly.
So, this is why even though I trade mainly intra-day I currently factor in the weekly chart. Because it's so active, it's important to know because you can expect long setups to have very low to no integrity. The level of integrity we've lost to the long side can effect the win percentage of a lot of long setups and even if it doesn't effect the win% it's very likely to effect how much you can make off the long setup.
Does this make any sense on why sometimes people use larger charts and other times I agree it's a waste of time?
