* USDC/USDT: This is the pair being traded. You are seeing how many USDT you need to buy 1 USDC (or vice versa).
* Current price ($0.9998): Almost 1 dollar. This is normal for stablecoins; their goal is to stay close to $1. The "-0.01%" next to it indicates a very small change, almost negligible, which is typical.
* Minimum in 24h (0.9996) and Volume 24h (USDT 977.50M): This tells you the lowest price it reached in the last 24 hours and the total amount (in USDT) that has been traded for this pair in that same period. High volume indicates a lot of activity.
* The main chart (the "candles"):
* Each vertical bar (red or green) is called a "candle". Green candles mean that the price went up during that time period (closed higher than it opened). Red candles mean that the price went down (closed lower than it opened).
* The thin lines that protrude from the candles (the "wicks") show the highest and lowest prices reached in that period.
* You can see that the USDC/USDT price has remained very stable, fluctuating barely between 0.9995 and 1.0000. This is exactly what is expected from a stablecoin pair.
* The purple and yellow lines surrounding the candles are the Bollinger Bands (BOLL), an indicator that measures volatility. When the candles are between the bands, the price moves as expected. In this case, being stablecoins, the bands are very narrow, showing little volatility.
* The charts below (the "indicators"):
* Vol (Volume): These are the red and green bars at the bottom of the main chart. They show the number of trades (buy/sell) in each period. Taller bars indicate more activity. As you can see, there is a lot of volume, which means people use these stablecoins a lot.
* RSI (Relative Strength Index): It is the wavy line at the bottom (RSI(14): 64.0293). This indicator tells you if an asset is "overbought" (too many people buying) or "oversold" (too many people selling). Values above 70 suggest overbought, and below 30, oversold. In this case, since they are stablecoins, the RSI is not as relevant as in other volatile cryptocurrencies, but a value of 64 suggests that there has been a little more buying pressure recently, although without a significant impact on the price.
In summary, and in an educational way:
Imagine that USDC and USDT are two types of "digital dollars" that always want to be worth exactly the same as a real dollar. The chart shows us that they are achieving this very well.
* The price is almost always $1: This is excellent, it means they maintain their stability.
* There is a lot of movement (volume): People use them a lot to buy and sell other cryptocurrencies or simply to safely store their money in the crypto world without the volatility of other coins like Bitcoin or Ethereum.
* Little price variation: The candles are small and the price range is tiny, which is normal and desirable for this type of asset. Don't expect to see big ups or downs like in other more volatile cryptocurrencies.
This chart confirms to you that USDC and USDT are very stable and widely used in the Binance ecosystem. This is the expected behavior for "digital dollars."
