What is a Candlestick Chart?

A Candlestick Chart, also known as a "Candle Chart" or "Bullish/Bearish Line", originated from rice trading in 18th century Japan. Each candlestick represents price information for a specific time period (e.g., 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, etc.).

**Each candlestick contains four core price information:**

1. **Open Price:** The first transaction price at the beginning of this time period.

2. **Close Price:** The last transaction price at the end of this time period.

3. **High Price:** The highest transaction price reached during this time period.

4. **Low Price:** The lowest transaction price reached during this time period.

### Composition of Candlesticks

Each candlestick typically consists of a **Body** and **Shadow / Wick**:

1. **Body:**

* Represents the price range between the open price and close price.

* **Bullish Candlestick / Green/White Candlestick:** When the **close price is higher than the open price**, the body is usually **green or white** (colors may vary across platforms, but green typically represents an upward movement).

* **Bearish Candlestick / Red/Black Candlestick:** When the **close price is lower than the open price**, the body is usually **red or black** (colors may vary across platforms, but red typically represents a downward movement).

2. **Shadow / Wick:**

* Thin lines above and below the body, representing the high price and low price.

* **Upper Shadow:** A line segment connecting the top of the body to the high price.

* **Lower Shadow:** A line segment connecting the bottom of the body to the low price.

### Specific Interpretation of Bullish and Bearish Candlesticks

**1. Bullish Candlestick (Rising Candlestick / Green or White Body)**

* **Characteristics:** Close Price > Open Price

* **Upper Shadow:** Indicates that above the open and close prices, the price rose to a higher point but ultimately fell back.

* **Lower Shadow:** Indicates that below the open and close prices, the price fell to a lower point but ultimately rebounded.

* **Body:** The longer the body, the stronger the buying power within this period, indicating a larger price increase.

**2. Bearish Candlestick (Falling Candlestick / Red or Black Body)**

* **Characteristics:** Close Price < Open Price
