A red candlestick on a stock price movement chart indicates that the stock price was lower at the close of a day than the day before. The candlestick chart shows a rectangular block with vertical lines above and below it, and coloring and shading are used to convey information. This system allows users to see the general movement patterns and volatility of the stock price.
A red candlestick is a type of symbol used on a stock price movement chart system. Red indicates that the stock price was lower at the close of a day than the day before. The red candle will be solid or hollow depending on the price change during the day.
The candlestick chart is an alternative to the more traditional line charts. Just like with a line chart, it has a vertical axis that shows the stock price and a horizontal axis that shows time, specifically each trading day. Unlike a line graph, it does not join the figures for each day. Instead, it shows a “candlestick” for each day, which consists of a rectangular block with vertical lines above and below it.
Looking at a candle on the chart from top to bottom, the first vertical line runs from the point marking the stock’s highest market price during the day to the point marking the opening or closing price, whichever is higher. . From this point, there is a rectangular shape from the open price to the close price, or vice versa, if the close price is higher. Finally, there is another line that goes down to the lowest price during the day. In the event that the open or close price was also the highest or lowest price for the entire day, one or both vertical lines may be missing.
Coloring and shading are also used to convey information. The rectangle, or “candlestick,” will be green if the closing price is higher than the previous day’s closing price. A red candlestick shows that the closing price is lower than the previous day’s closing price.
Meanwhile, the rectangle will be hollow if the closing price is higher than the opening price. The rectangle will be solid if the closing price is lower than the opening price. Without this indicator, it would be much more difficult to see the direction of movement during the day.
This system allows users to see at a glance the general movement patterns and volatility of the stock price. For example, a long red candlestick that is hollow shows that a stock has not fully recovered from the previous day, but has instead begun a strong upward move. Conversely, a short red candlestick that is solid suggests that a trough is continuing, but the pace of decline may have slowed.
