What is a Candlestick Chart?
Candlestick charts are primarily used in financial analysis to display stock price movements. Each candlestick represents a time period (day, week, month) and shows four key values: opening price, closing price, highest price, and lowest price during that period. The rectangular body shows the opening and closing prices, while wicks (thin lines) extend to show the high and low prices.
The color of the candlestick typically indicates direction—green when the stock closed higher than it opened, red when it closed lower. This compact yet information-rich visualization makes it easy to identify trends, support and resistance levels, and price volatility. Candlestick charts are standard in technical analysis and are used by traders and investors worldwide for decision-making.
