Currently, price is moving sideways but still has to make a higher high on the daily to really see a reversal.

It's useful to identify an asset's market structure on different timeframes to see what directional trade you should be focussing on that has the highest probability.
Any reversal starts on low timeframes and then slowly moves over to the higher timeframes.
Good luck! ๐๐
