If you are serious about learning to trade, you must start from here👇
**Candlesticks** are the simplest and strongest way to understand price movement in the crypto market.
✅ **What does a candle mean?**
Each candle represents price movement over a specific time period (like 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day... etc.)
Each candle consists of:
🔹 **Open**: the price at which the period started
🔹 **Close**: the price at which it ended
🔹 **High**
🔹 **Low**
🔹 Candle body: the difference between open and close
🔹 Wicks: show the range of movement
📍 **Color matters:**
* Green candle = price went up (close is higher than open)
* Red candle = price went down (close is lower than open)
💡 Candles tell you:
* Is there buying or selling strength in the market?
* Is there hesitation or a clear direction?
* Is a reversal coming? Or is the trend continuing?
🔥 This is the first step… and what’s coming is stronger!
In the next post, we will talk about **famous candlestick patterns** and how to use them in your decisions.
