Read a price chart
Understand candles, timeframes and volume.
Start with the timeframe
A candle summarizes an interval: its open, high, low and close. A daily candle covers one day; a one-hour candle covers one hour. Always check the interval before comparing charts.
Separate price from activity
Volume describes the amount traded during an interval. It provides context for a price move, but neither volume nor a chart pattern guarantees what happens next.
Check the pair and source
BTC/USD and BTC/USDT are different quoted pairs. Different exchanges can display slightly different prices. TomCrypto charts identify their provider and selected market.
