Crypto Charts 101: A Quick Guide

Crypto charts help you understand price movements. They're mostly candlestick charts.

* Candlesticks: Each candle shows price action over a specific time (e.g., 1 hour, 1 day).

* Green Candle: Price went up (close higher than open).

* Red Candle: Price went down (close lower than open).

* Wicks: Show the highest and lowest prices reached.

* Volume Bars: At the bottom, they show how much crypto was traded. High volume means strong interest.

Key Concepts

* Support: A price level where buying usually stops a price drop (like a "price floor").

* Resistance: A price level where selling usually stops a price rise (like a "price ceiling").

* If price breaks above resistance, it can go higher.

* If price breaks below support, it can go lower.

Chart Patterns & Indicators (Quick Look)

* Common Patterns: Shapes like Head and Shoulders or Triangles can suggest where the price might go next.

* Indicators: Tools that calculate data from price and volume to give clues:

* Moving Averages (MA): Show trends.

* RSI (Relative Strength Index): Shows if an asset is "overbought" (might drop) or "oversold" (might bounce).

* MACD: Helps spot trend changes.
