How to read K-lines (candlesticks)

1 / 6

Each candlestick encodes open, high, low, and close (OHLC) for that period. The diagram below shows a typical green (bullish) candle and a red (bearish) candle—compare the wicks and body to the four prices.

Switch timeframes (e.g. 1m, 1h, 1d) to see short-term noise versus longer trends.

Use the chart toolbar to change symbol, period, layout, and drawings. Zoom and scroll to focus on the range you care about.

OHLC on one candle

Arrows point to each price on the candle.

Bullish candle (close ≥ open)

  • High: top of the upper wick—the highest traded price in the period.
  • Low: bottom of the lower wick—the lowest traded price in the period.
  • Open: lower edge of the solid body (start-of-period price).
  • Close: upper edge of the solid body (end-of-period price).

Bearish candle (close < open)

  • High: top of the upper wick—the highest traded price in the period.
  • Low: bottom of the lower wick—the lowest traded price in the period.
  • Open: upper edge of the solid body (start-of-period price).
  • Close: lower edge of the solid body (end-of-period price).

Common indicators

Indicators summarize price and volume history. Widely used examples include moving averages (trend), MACD (momentum), RSI (overbought/oversold), and Bollinger Bands (volatility).

Add indicators from the chart panel, tune parameters carefully, and avoid overloading the chart—too many signals often conflict. The diagram below uses sample candles: Bollinger Bands on the main pane, MACD in a lower pane.

Sample layout: candles + Bollinger Bands (main) and MACD (sub-chart)

Overlays like Bollinger Bands share the price scale with candles. Oscillators such as MACD usually sit in a separate pane so their scale does not fight with prices.

● Bollinger: orange upper, cyan middle, pink lower; the shaded band highlights volatility and relative highs/lows.

● MACD: cyan DIF, orange DEA; green/red bars show momentum above/below the zero line (illustrative).
