Japanese Candlestick Chart

Each "candle" represents a period of time (for example, 1 hour, 1 day) and shows the opening, closing, high, and low prices of that period.

👉A green (or white) candle indicates that the closing price was higher than the opening price (upward).

👉A red (or black) candle indicates that the closing price was lower than the opening price (downward).

👉The "wicks" or "shadows" (thin lines protruding from the candle) show the highest and lowest prices reached.
