🕯️ Candlesticks for Complete Beginners (No Chart Overload)
A candle = The story of a specific time period (1 hour, 1 day, etc.)
Look at ANY candle and find 4 things:
1️⃣ Open: Price when period started
2️⃣ Close: Price when period ended
3️⃣ High: Highest price reached
4️⃣ Low: Lowest price reached
Green Candle = Close > Open (price went up)
Red Candle = Close < Open (price went down)
The Wicks (thin lines top/bottom):
- Long upper wick = price went high but got rejected
- Long lower wick = price dropped but buyers stepped in
That's it. You now read candles better than 50% of beginners.
Practice: Look at BTC's daily chart. Find a candle with a long lower wick. What does it tell you?
