Ever heard of CANDLESTICKS?
Here's a simple 1 minute explanation of what it means in crypto:
🕯️Candlesticks are visual representations of price movements used by traders to analyze crypto (and other asset) markets.
🕯️Each candlestick shows four key price points during a specific time period:
🕯️The opening price (where price started)
🕯️The closing price (where price ended)
🕯️The highest price reached (the wick/shadow above)
🕯️The lowest price reached (the wick/shadow below)
🕯️The main "body" of the candle is colored to quickly show if price went up or down - typically green/white for price increases and red/black for decreases 🟢⚪️🔴⚫️
🕯️Traders use patterns formed by these candlesticks to identify potential market trends & make trading decisions.
🕯️Candlesticks provide a quick visual snapshot of market sentiment & volatility during any timeframe (1-minute, 1-hour, 1-day candles, etc.), making them essential for technical analysis in crypto trading.
