1. Axes and Candles
X-axis (horizontal): time — each candle represents 1 day.
Y-axis (vertical): BTC price in USD (or other currencies).
Candlestick:
Body of the candle: shows opening vs closing price.
Green = price went up (close > open)
Red = price went down (close < open)
Wicks/shadows: show the highest and lowest prices of the day.
2. Daily Trend
Uptrend: consecutive green candles with higher highs.
Downtrend: consecutive red candles with lower lows.
Sideways/Consolidation: small candles, price moving in a range, waiting for a breakout.
3. Support & Resistance
Support: price level where BTC tends to stop falling (buyers step in).
Resistance: price level where BTC tends to stop rising (sellers step in).
Daily chart traders mark these levels to plan entry/exit.
