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.
