Candlestick

A type of price chart originating from 18th-century Japanese rice trading that displays four data points for each time period: the opening price, closing price, highest price, and lowest price. The thick 'body' shows the range between open and close (green/bullish if close > open, red/bearish if close < open), while thin 'wicks' (shadows) extend to the high and low. Candlestick charts are the most widely used chart type in cryptocurrency trading.
