#CryptoCharts101 helps beginners understand the visual language of the market. The most common type is the candlestick chart, where each "candle" represents the price movement over a chosen time period (for example, 1 hour, 1 day). Green candles indicate that the price closed higher than it opened (bullish), while red means a price decrease (bearish).

Key components include the time axis (horizontal), which shows historical data from left to right, and the price axis (vertical). Volume bars are typically found below the main chart, indicating trading activity. Traders also look for support and resistance levels: price points where buying or selling pressure has historically pushed the price back. Understanding these basic concepts is crucial for identifying trends and making informed trading decisions.
