How to Read Crypto Charts: Candlesticks and Volume

## Candlestick anatomy Each candle shows open, high, low, and close for a time period. Green (or white) = price up; red = price down. ## Support and resistance Price levels where buying or selling pressure historically concentrated. Breakouts with volume can signal trend continuation. ## Volume matters A price move on thin volume is less reliable than one backed by heavy trading activity. ## Timeframes Daily charts for trend; 4H/1H for entries. Always zoom out for context. ## Not financial advice Technical analysis is a tool, not a guarantee. Combine with fundamentals and risk management.
