Candlestick Charts

Candlestick charts use the same data as bar charts but represent the information slightly differently.

Traditionally, candlesticks are shown in black and white, but many charts use colours instead.

A white (or green, or blue) body signifies a day in which the price has increased.

A black (or red) body signifies a day in which the price has decreased.

The body of the candle itself shows the open-to-close range.

The wick of the candlestick shows the day’s full range.
