How to Use Candlestick Patterns in Trading

A candlestick represents price movement for a given time frame.
It shows:

Open price – where the candle started

Close price – where the candle ended

High price – the top point (shadow or wick)

Low price – the bottom point (shadow or wick)

👉 If the close price > open price, it’s a bullish candle (often green or white).
👉 If the close price < open price, it’s a bearish candle (often red or black).
