Sometimes it may look like an uptrend/downtrend on a lower timeframe but if you look at a higher timeframe it's a different story.
Someone else daytrading might ask, does it make sense to look at anything beyond the 1 or 5 minute, but the 15 minute might show a different pattern. It might look like an uptrend on the 5 minute, but the 15 minute might show a clear downtrend. Or vice versa. Or that it could go either way still.
I think it's always a good idea to review at least the daily first, maybe even weekly. Understand possible support and resistance areas, your possible exit point. Then get a precise entry with a lower timeframe.
It kind of depends on how long you want to be in the trade for too.
But be looking at multiple timeframes at the same time.
Have a look here for an example:
