Uncertainty on confirming volume at lower time frames to enter a position

Hi Pat,
In concepts that have been taught, I understand from a daily chart perspective that you want to see strong volume be above average and break through the tops or area of resistance to obtain the entry.
What I am struggling with quite a bit is trying to confirm the volume at a lower time from the daily, at either an hour, 30 minutes, or 10 minutes that provides confirmation to place that buy. 
How do I interpret to know volume will exceed the daily at the lower time frame?  Am I looking for confirmation of above average volume that also shows up on the 1 hour, 30 min, and 10 mins together?
Thank you,
Steven
