How to Read a Crypto Candlestick Chart in 5 Minutes

Candlestick charts look complicated. They are not. Every candle tells you four things. Once you understand that, you can read any chart on any exchange.

The Four Data Points

Open: The price when that time period started.

Close: The price when that time period ended.

High: The highest price during that period.

Low: The lowest price during that period.

Green vs Red

A green candle means the close was higher than the open. Price went up. A red candle means the close was lower than the open. Price went down.

The thick body of the candle shows the open-to-close range. The thin lines (wicks) above and below show the high and low.

What Wicks Tell You

A long upper wick means buyers pushed the price up but sellers fought back and pushed it down before the candle closed. Rejection at higher prices.

A long lower wick means sellers pushed the price down but buyers stepped in and pushed it back up. Rejection at lower prices.

Small body with long wicks on both sides? Indecision. The market cannot make up its mind.
