How to Trade Cryptocurrency on CEX.IO: Price Charts and Trading Overview

Cryptocurrency price charts provide a visual representation of asset price movements over time. By analyzing real-time charts, traders can identify trends, patterns, and opportunities to refine their strategies.

Types of Price Charts

Three primary chart types are used in trading:

1. Line Charts – Simple, showing closing prices connected by a line.
2. Bar Charts – Display open, high, low, and close (OHLC) values as vertical bars.
3. Candlestick Charts – The most popular, combining OHLC data with color-coded "bodies" for market sentiment.

Understanding Candlestick Charts

Candlestick charts include OHLCV data:

| Component | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| O | Opening price |
| H | Highest price in the selected period |
| L | Lowest price in the selected period |
| C | Closing price |
| V | Trading volume |

• Green candles: Price increased (bullish).
• Red candles: Price decreased (bearish).
