The chart is a tool that displays price movement over a specific period. Through it, trends, peaks, troughs, patterns, and all technical aspects can be seen.
Basic Types of Charts:
1. Candlestick Chart (the most important and widely used):
Each candlestick represents a time period (1 minute, 5 minutes, hour...).
Each candlestick contains:
Opening Price (Open)
Closing Price (Close)
Highest Price (High)
Lowest Price (Low)
2. Line Chart:
Draws a line from closing price to closing price.
Simple but does not provide precise details.
3. Bar Chart:
Shows the opening price, high, low, and closing.
Useful but less clear than candlesticks.
