When operating cryptocurrencies, one important chart that helps the analysis is the candlestick, mainly in trading. A candlestick is a type of price chart used in technical analysis that displays the high, low, open, and closing prices of a security for a specific period of time.
Bitcoin prices:
Each candle consists of a body and the wicks. The body of the candle indicates the prices at the time of opening and closing during the time span of the candle. The lines that extend from the upper and lower body are the highlights. These represent the highest and lowest prices that the asset reached during the listing period.
Green candles show rising prices, so the open is at the bottom of the body and the close is at the top. Red candles show declining prices, so the open is at the top of the body and the close is at the bottom.
