Reading a price chart (Charts)

Reading a price chart (Charts)

A candlestick chart shows where a price opened, closed, and how far it swung.

The Charts page gives you pro-style, interactive charts — the same kind serious traders use. You can zoom, pan, draw lines, and add helper indicators.

Most charts use candlesticks. Each candle is one slice of time. The thick body shows where the price started and ended; the thin wicks show the highest and lowest points it reached.

Green = ended higher than it started. Red = ended lower.

Each candle is a tiny diary entry for the day: where it woke up, where it went to sleep, and the highest and lowest it felt in between.

You don’t need to predict anything. Charts are for looking — spotting trends and getting familiar with how a price moves.

Where these numbers come from
