Most stocks and indexes often reverse or pivot from their initial move around one of the pivotal time frames, the first of which is 10:00 am -- or the first half hour of trading. While this time frame is pivotal, it's not 100% and does not occurr every trading day. Thus it's crucial to put it together with another resistance level or, possibly, a pattern, to increase the odds of a short-term trend change.
By considering the time frame along with multiple factors such as price and pattern, you'll be able to determine which time frame is most relevant.
