Candlesticks

A candlestick shows 4 pieces of information for a given time period:

- **Open** — price at the start of the candle - **High** — highest price reached - **Low** — lowest price reached - **Close** — price at the end of the candle

A **bullish** (green) candle closes higher than it opens. A **bearish** (red) candle closes lower.

The thin lines above/below the body are called **wicks** or **shadows** and represent price rejection.
