Candlestick basics every crypto trader needs to know:

📌 The body of a candle = the range between open and close price. Green/white body = price closed HIGHER than it opened (bullish). Red/black body = price closed LOWER than it opened (bearish). Simple, but this is your baseline reality check.

📌 The wicks (shadows) tell you the battle. A long upper wick = bulls pushed price up but bears rejected it before close (bearish signal). A long lower wick = bears pushed price down but bulls bought it back before close (bullish signal, especially at support).

📌 Key patterns to watch: Doji (tiny body, long wicks) = indecision — a flip is possible. Hammer (long lower wick, small body at top) = rejection of lower prices, often a reversal signal. Engulfing candle (new candle completely covers previous) = strong momentum shift.

Charts are a visual representation of human fear and greed. Candles are just fear and greed in a box.

Practice by looking at historical #BTC charts and identifying these patterns. You'll start seeing them everywhere.
