A cryptocurrency candlestick chart is a visual representation of price movements over time. Each candlestick shows four key data points for a specific time period:

Open – The price at the start of the period.

Close – The price at the end of the period.

High – The highest price during the period.

Low – The lowest price during the period.

Candlestick Anatomy:

If the close > open, the candle is typically green or white (bullish).

If the close < open, it’s usually red or black (bearish).

The "body" shows the open-close range.

The "wicks" or "shadows" show the high and low prices.

Here’s a labeled image for clarity:
