#CryptoCharts101 Understanding cryptocurrency charts is a fundamental skill for anyone looking to navigate the crypto market. Here's a breakdown of the basics:

1. Types of Charts

* Line Charts: The simplest type, showing only the closing prices of a cryptocurrency over a given period. They're good for spotting overall trends but lack detailed price information.

* Bar Charts (OHLC Charts): Provide more detail than line charts, displaying the Open, High, Low, and Close prices for each period.

* Candlestick Charts: The most popular type among crypto traders due to their rich visual information. Each "candlestick" represents a specific time interval (e.g., 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day) and shows four key pieces of information:

* Open Price: The price at the beginning of the period.

* Close Price: The price at the end of the period.

* High Price: The highest price reached during the period (represented by the top of the "wick" or "shadow").

* Low Price: The lowest price reached during the period (represented by the bottom of the "wick" or "shadow").

* Body: The rectangular part of the candlestick, representing the range between the open and close prices.

* Green/White Candle (Bullish): Close price is higher than the open price.

* Red/Black Candle (Bearish): Close price is lower than the open price.
