BTC Price Candles
One candle for every four hours. Each candle shows where Bitcoin's price started that four-hour block, the highest and lowest it traded, and where it ended. Green means it finished higher than it started, red means lower. Bars underneath show how much was traded. History goes back to August 2017.
One candle for every four hours. A candle is a single bar showing four things at once: the starting price of those four hours, the highest and lowest price traded, and the finishing price.
The thick body is the distance between the starting and finishing price; the thin lines **above** and **below** show how far the price stretched and came back. For example, a candle with a small green body and a long upper wick — say it opens at $103,000, tops $107,000 and closes at $103,400 — means buyers pushed hard, ran out of steam, and sellers took nearly all of it back within those four hours.
Tall volume bars under a candle mean a lot of money was behind that move.
Nothing is calculated — we store Binance's starting, highest, lowest and finishing price plus the traded amount for each four-hour block exactly as that exchange publishes it.
One exchange **only** (Binance BTC/USDT), so it **is not** a whole-market average and other exchanges will differ slightly. Nothing before 17 August 2017 exists on this timeframe.
