📊 Types of Charts
Line Chart – Simple and shows closing prices over time.
Candlestick Chart – Most popular. Shows open, close, high, and low for a given period.
Bar Chart – Similar to candlesticks, but less visual.

Each candlestick shows:
Open: Starting price
Close: Ending price
High: Highest price during the period
Low: Lowest price during the period
Green candle = price went up
Red candle = price went down
📈 Key Indicators to Know
Volume – Shows trading activity. High volume = strong interest.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) – Measures if a crypto is overbought or oversold.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) – Helps spot trend changes.
Moving Averages (SMA, EMA) – Smooths out price data to identify trends.
