How to read a candlestick chart

Each candle shows one period, for example one hour on the 1H timeframe. The thick body runs from the opening price to the closing price, and the thin lines (wicks) show the highest and lowest price reached in that period.

• Green candle: the period closed higher than it opened.
• Red candle: the period closed lower than it opened.
• Long wicks: price travelled far during the period but came back before the close.
• Volume bars (bottom panel): how much was traded in each period. A move on high volume has more participation behind it than the same move on low volume.

Drawing tools: lines, zones, Fibonacci and position boxes

Mark up the chart with your own lines and notes. Pick a tool, then tap the chart: the hint under the chart tells you how many points to place. Tap a drawing to change its colour, line, label or to lock or delete it.

• Lines and zones: horizontal line and ray, vertical line, trend line (extend it to the right for a ray), arrow, rectangle zone, ellipse, parallel channel, pitchfork, and Fibonacci retracement and extension. Tools are grouped in the toolbar: tap a group to see its tools.
• Measure: the % change, number of candles and time between two points, or only the time (date range) or only the price (price range).
• Notes: text notes, price labels and quick labels such as BOS, CHoCH, FVG or a supply and demand zone. These are your own notes; the chart never places them for you.
• Long and short position: tap a start price to place a box with your stop and target levels, then drag its handles. The Risk Workspace shows the risk : reward and the calculated position size from your account size and risk per trade. Educational and informational purposes only. Not financial advice.
• Magnet snaps points to candle prices. Undo and redo are always one tap away (Ctrl+Z on a keyboard).

Practice Replay (the clock button) hides the future: pick a candle, then step forward one candle at a time or press play at 1× to 10× speed. Free on every timeframe, with your drawings and indicators. Keys: → and ← for one candle, space to play or pause.

The watchlist under the chart shows the live price and 24h change of your favourite pairs (tap ★ to add one) and a few popular ones; tap a pair to open it.

25 free crypto chart indicators

Open Indicators above the chart and tap the ones you want. Each one's settings open right under it, so you can set your own periods, levels and options. Values show at the top of each panel; tap a chip to change it or × to remove it.

• Moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA): up to five lines on the price chart, each with its own type and period. An EMA reacts faster than an SMA of the same length; a WMA gives more weight to recent candles; an HMA (Hull) follows price closely with little lag. Guide: Moving averages in crypto
• Bollinger Bands: an average with bands a chosen number of standard deviations above and below it, with a light fill between them. The bands widen when price moves a lot and narrow when it is quiet. Guide: Bollinger Bands in crypto
• RSI: compares recent up moves with recent down moves on a scale from 0 to 100. Level lines at 70 and 30, which you can move or hide, plus an optional average line. Guide: How to use RSI in crypto
• Stochastic and Stochastic RSI: where the close (or the RSI) sits in its recent range, from 0 to 100, with %K and %D lines and level lines at 80 and 20. Guide: Stochastic vs Stochastic RSI
• MACD: the gap between a fast and a slow average, with a signal line and a histogram of the difference. Guide: How to use MACD in crypto
• Volume Profile: bars on the right showing how much volume traded at each price for the candles on screen. The dashed line is the POC (the price with the most volume); the brighter bars are the value area, where 70% of the volume traded. It updates as you scroll and zoom. Guide: Volume Profile in crypto
• VWAP: the average price weighted by volume. Start it again each day, week or month, and add bands at 1, 2 or 3 standard deviations to see how far price has moved from it. Guide: What is VWAP in crypto
• Ichimoku: conversion and base lines, the lagging line, and the cloud between the two spans, green or red. The cloud is also drawn ahead of the last candle, so you can see the cloud the coming candles will meet. Guide: Ichimoku Cloud in crypto
• Supertrend, Keltner and Donchian Channels, Pivot Points: a trend line that sits under or over price, bands around an average, the range of the last candles, and classic pivot levels (P, R1 to R3, S1 to S3) from the previous day or week. Guides: Supertrend indicator in crypto · Pivot points in crypto
• ADX/DMI, CCI, Williams %R and MFI: trend strength, distance from the average price, where the close sits in the recent range, and an RSI that also weighs volume. Each shows its usual levels, which you can change. Guide: ADX indicator in crypto

Indicators describe past prices. They are tools for reading the chart, not a forecast.

What the timeframes mean

The timeframe is how much time each candle covers. Short timeframes (5m, 15m) show every small move and a lot of noise. Longer ones (4H, 1D, 1W) smooth that out and show the bigger picture.

• 1m to 30m: very short-term movement within a day.
• 1H to 12H: movement over days, a common middle ground.
• 1D to 1M: the longer trend over weeks, months and years.

Under More you find every timeframe. Chart settings also offer hollow candles, Heikin Ashi (smoothed candles that make the direction easier to see; the price tag still shows the real price), bars, line and area charts, Renko (bricks of a fixed size, automatic from ATR 14 or your own, that ignore time and show only the moves) and three-line break, a log or % price scale, and times in UTC or your own time zone.

A useful habit is to look at a longer timeframe first for context, then a shorter one for detail. Turn on Log scale when comparing large moves over long periods: equal percentage moves then look the same size.

Common chart-reading mistakes

• Looking at only one timeframe. A sharp drop on 5m can be a small dip on 1D.
• Reading too much into one candle. A single candle says little on its own; look at what came before it.
• Forgetting the last candle is still open. It keeps changing until the countdown under the price reaches zero.
• Ignoring volume. Moves on very low volume can reverse quickly.
• Mixing up linear and log scale. On a linear scale, recent moves of the same percentage look bigger when the price is higher.
