Choose levels that matter before intraday traders notice them.

Higher-timeframe levels matter because more participants can see and act around them. Weekly highs, daily lows, prior session extremes, large gaps, and major consolidation boundaries can influence intraday behavior.
When projecting these levels onto an intraday chart, treat them as zones rather than exact prices. Price may front-run, tag, sweep, or briefly overshoot before reacting. The reaction tells you whether the level is being accepted or rejected.
Do not clutter the chart with every historical level. Choose the levels close enough to affect today's trade. A clean map of two or three important areas is more useful than a chart covered in lines.
