📊 1. Understand the Basics of a Price Chart
➤ Candlestick Chart (most common)
Each candlestick shows price movement over a time frame (e.g., 1h, 4h, 1d).
Open: Price at the beginning of the time period.
Close: Price at the end.
High: Highest price reached.
Low: Lowest price.
✅ If the candle is green: close > open (bullish)
❌ If the candle is red: close < open (bearish)

1-minute to 15-minute: Scalping/intraday.
1h to 4h: Swing trading.
1d to 1w: Long-term/position trading.
⚠️ Patterns behave differently depending on the time frame.
