Stock charts visualise price movements over time. Candlestick charts show the open, high, low, and close for each period. Volume bars show how many shares were traded. Learning to read charts is the foundation of technical analysis.
Answer: Open, high, low, and close prices. Candlesticks show four price points: open, high, low, and close for each time period.
Answer: The stock rose (close > open). Green candles indicate bullish price action — the closing price was higher than the opening.
Answer: Strong investor interest in the move. High volume on a price move validates the move — many participants agreed on that direction.
Answer: A price floor where buying tends to emerge. Support is a price level where demand has historically been strong enough to halt declines.
