📉 Introduction

To make informed trading decisions, you need more than just luck — you need to understand price charts. On Xoibit, our trading interface provides powerful tools like candlestick charts, technical indicators, and pattern recognition.

In this blog, we’ll show you how to read crypto charts, recognize common patterns, and use indicators that give you the upper hand in your trades.

🕯️ What Are Candlestick Charts?

Candlestick charts show price movement over a set period — each "candle" represents:

Open price

Close price

High and low within the time frame

🟩 Green Candle = Bullish

Price closed higher than it opened.

🟥 Red Candle = Bearish

Price closed lower than it opened.

You can view 1m, 5m, 1h, 1D, etc., on Xoibit depending on your strategy.

🔄 Basic Chart Patterns
