Full Definition
Candlestick charts display price action with visual bars showing the open, high, low, and close for each time period. The body shows the range between open and close; wicks (shadows) show the high and low extremes. Bullish candles (close above open) are typically green/white; bearish candles are red/black. Candlestick patterns help predict reversals and continuations.
