How to read a coin chart
2 min readIn short
Each candle shows how the price moved in a period of time. Green means it closed higher than it opened, red means lower. Volume bars underneath show how much was traded.
Candles
The thick body runs from the opening to the closing price. The thin lines show the highest and lowest price in that period.
Time frames
Switch between 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h and 1d. Short time frames show the latest moves, long ones show the trend.
Volume
A price move on high volume means many people agree. A move on tiny volume can reverse quickly.
