I find that a longer view, over a few days, gives a broader, fuller picture. A trend line starts to form, and then you can make more informed guesses (even though they're still just guesses) as to where the numbers are likely to go, and how soon. But then again, I can easily get really nitpicky about this kind of stuff...
