Formation of Candlestick Chart:

A candle is form from its body and wick. And this wick may be upper side or may be lower side of body.
So, the candle is divided into two parts:

  1. The Body
  2. Upper Shadow
  3. Lower Shadow





  • Upper Shadow: The upper wick or shadow indicates the high trading session. If the upper shadow is longer, the asset price surpasses the open and close price. At the same time, a short upper shadow reflects asset trading close to its opening and closing price.
  • Lower Shadow: The lower wick or shadow depicts the low trading session. If the lower shadow is long, then the asset price is on the lower side. On the other hand, a short lower shadow depicts asset prices that trade close to a low open or close point.
  • The Body: 

    The candlestick has a wide part called the "real body." This real body represents the price range between the open and close of that day's trading. When the real body is filled in or black (also red), it means the close was lower than the open. If the real body is white (or green), it means the close was higher than the open.

 A candle has four different data points:



  1. Open: ‘Open’ is the price at which the asset trades at the very beginning of the intraday (or the given period).
  2. High: The top of the upper shadow or wick represents the high price point of an asset. However, if the asset opens or closes at its highest price, an upper shadow is not formed.
  3. Low: Similarly, the bottom of the lower shadow reflects the low price point of an asset. Again, if the price opens or closes at its lowest, the lower shadow is absent.
  4. Close: It is the closing price at which the last trade is made at the end of the intraday or the given period.
