Candlestick(Candlestick)
A chart unit showing the open, close, high and low prices over a given period. The proportions of body and wick sum up the battle between buyers and sellers.
Also written as: mum çubuğu · mum
A long lower wick shows buyers pushing back from the low (pin bar), a full body shows one-sided control, and a small body shows indecision (doji). Single-candle patterns should not be read without context; a candle that forms at a key level is the meaningful one.
The candle's timeframe changes everything: a 5-minute pin bar is not even visible on the daily chart.
