Let's first talk about the basic components of candlestick charts, just like we need to know basic data such as height and weight when looking at a person.
Opening price is the price of the first transaction at the beginning of a trading day. For example, if a coin opens at 6 AM and the first transaction is at $100, then $100 is the opening price.
Closing price, corresponding to the opening price, is the price of the last transaction at the end of the trading day. For that coin, at 11:59 PM when the market closed, the last transaction was at $110, so $110 is the closing price.
The highest price, is the highest point the price reached during the day. For example, if the price of the coin rises to $120 during the day, then $120 is the highest price. The lowest price, is the lowest point the price reached during the day. For instance, if the lowest point of the day was $90, then $90 is the lowest price.
