Charts are one of the most important tools for analyzing the cryptocurrency market. Proper understanding and interpretation of charts help make more informed trading decisions.
Types of cryptocurrency charts:
1. Line chart. Simple and clear — shows price dynamics with a continuous line
+ easy to track the overall trend
- does not display price fluctuations within the period
2. Candlestick chart (Japanese candles). The most popular type of chart among traders
Each candle shows:
* Opening and closing price (the body of the candle)
* The maximum and minimum price (the shadows of the candle)
* Price movement direction (candle color)
+ provides more information about market sentiment.
- difficult at the learning stage
3. Bar chart. Similar to a candlestick, but in a more compact form
Shows opening, closing, maximum, and minimum price
+ takes up less space on the screen
- the same as with the candlestick chart
Key elements for chart analysis
1. Time frames
- Short-term (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h) — for intraday trading
- Medium-term (4h, 1d) — for swing trading
- Long-term (1w, 1m) — for long-term investments
2. Trading volume
- Shows market activity
- High volume confirms the strength of the trend
- Low volume may signal an upcoming reversal
3. Support and resistance levels
Support is a level that price is reluctant to drop below
Resistance is a level that price finds it hard to rise above
Breaking these levels often leads to significant price movement
Popular indicators for chart analysis
1. Moving Averages (MA)
- Smooths out price fluctuations to identify trends
- The intersections of fast and slow moving averages are used as signals
2. Relative Strength Index (RSI)
- Measures the speed and change of price movements
- Values above 70 indicate overbought conditions
- Values below 30 indicate oversold conditions
3. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
- Tracks the relationship between two moving averages
- Signals potential entry and exit points
