The Vibe: A visual graph showing a crypto’s price movement over time—like a roadmap of ups, downs, and patterns.
The Details: A price chart displays historical prices (usually in candlestick, line, or bar format) so you can see trends, highs/lows, support/resistance, and trading volume. Popular platforms: TradingView, CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap. Candlesticks show open, high, low, close prices for each time period (1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, etc.). Charts help spot trends, predict moves, and make decisions.
Pro Tip: Start with candlestick charts on TradingView — zoom out to see the big picture (weekly/monthly) and zoom in for short-term action. Always look at volume too: big moves with high volume are stronger.
