What Is a Candlestick Chart?
Among the different types of charts technical traders use, candlestick charts are among the most popular. A candlestick chart is a financial chart made up of candlesticks that represent a fixed time frame. For instance, if you choose a daily (1D) time frame on a BTC/BUSD chart, each candlestick will represent information on the price of BTC against BUSD on a daily basis.
Each candlestick conveys the following information:
Open: The first recorded trading price of the asset within a particular time frame.
Close: The last recorded trading price of the asset within a particular time frame.
High: The highest recorded trading price of the asset within a particular time frame.
Low: The lowest recorded trading price of the asset within a particular time frame.
