Reading open, high, low and close

Each candle shows the price range within the selected interval. The open is the first price, the close is the last, the high is the highest and the low is the lowest.

Reading open, high, low and close — concept illustration

The body shows the relationship between open and close. The wicks extend to the high and low.

A candle can still be forming

The close, high and low of the current candle may change until the interval ends. Distinguish a completed candle from one still forming, and do not compare different intervals as if they represented the same period.
