How to read candlestick charts
Open, close, high, low, chart scale, and the direction of price movement.
1
Candlestick structure
Each candle describes price movement during one interval. The body shows the distance between open and close, while the wicks show the highest and lowest price reached.
2
Context matters
A single green or red candle does not confirm a lasting trend. Review the sequence of highs and lows, candle sizes, and nearby price levels.
3
Use the right scale
Before evaluating a signal, verify that the chart shows current candles and the selected pair. Keep enough history visible to see both the latest move and its broader context.
