Market Chart
A market chart is a visual representation of the price movements of a financial asset over time, typically displayed as line charts, bar charts, or candlestick charts. Market charts are used by traders and investors to analyze historical price data, identify trends, and make informed decisions about future market movements. Candlestick charts are particularly popular in technical analysis, as they show the open, high, low, and close prices for each time period.
Example
A trader uses a candlestick chart to analyze the daily price movements of a stock, identifying bullish and bearish patterns to predict future price movements.
