📊 **How to Read a Cryptocurrency Chart: A Simple Guide to Candles and Trends**
If you are a newcomer to cryptocurrency, the chart may seem complicated. But it’s not that scary! The main thing is to understand the **candle chart**.
One **"candle"** shows the price movement over a certain period (for example, 1 minute, 1 hour, or day). It has:
* **Body:** the difference between the opening and closing price.
* **Color:** green — the price increased, red — decreased.
* **"Wicks" (shadows):** show the highest and lowest price during this period.
When several green candles follow one another — this is a **bullish trend**. If red ones dominate — this is **bearish**.
It is also worth paying attention to **support and resistance levels** — these are prices at which the market stops or reverses.
Over time, you will learn to recognize patterns — shapes on the chart that can hint at future movements. Everything comes with practice!
