Understanding crypto charts is essential for making informed trading decisions. Here's a quick primer:

## Basic Chart Types

1. **Line Charts** - Simplest form, shows closing prices over time

2. **Candlestick Charts** - Most popular, shows open/high/low/close prices

3. **Bar Charts** - Similar to candlesticks but with different visual style

## Key Elements to Analyze

- **Price Action**: The movement of a cryptocurrency's price over time

- **Volume**: Trading activity (higher volume = stronger price moves)

- **Support/Resistance**: Price levels where buying/selling pressure emerges

- **Trends**: Upward (bullish), downward (bearish), or sideways (consolidation)
