Candlestick is a charting tool used in financial markets to represent the price movement of an asset over a specific period. It consists of a body and wicks, showing the open, high, low, and close prices. The body indicates the price range between the opening and closing prices. The wicks, or shadows, show the highest and lowest prices during the time frame. A green or white body typically signifies a price increase, while a red or black body indicates a price decrease. Candlesticks help traders analyze market trends and price patterns.
