Candlestick

A chart element summarizing the open, high, low, and close price for a specific time period — bullish (closed higher) or bearish (closed lower).

A candlestick summarizes the open, high, low, and close price for a specific time period in one compact visual shape. A bullish candle (typically green or white) closed higher than it opened; a bearish candle (typically red or black) closed lower than it opened. The body shows the open-close range; the wick shows the high and low.
