The Japanese candlestick chart is a very popular chart which is widely used in all parts of the world by investors. At first creation of the candlestick by a rice trader called Munehisa Homma in the year 1770s was used to make technical analysis of charts and also determine the price change of assets. This concept introduced into the rice trading made Munehisa Homma flourish in the rice market and he’s now considered a legend in rice trading.

The Japanese candlestick has become widely known due to its service and purpose. Thus, it shows investors the price movement whether it’s an upward movement or a downward with the help of distinct colors. These colors is mainly to signal traders the price movements.

This literally help traders or investors make good decisions on trades. This is also because the Japanese candlestick fill in traders on crypto currencies by displaying price changes of assets within a period of time showing the highest and lowest price at that time period.

First of all, I made a statement earlier on that the Japanese candlestick is a widely used tool worldwide. This is because these candlesticks presents accurate analysis of price movements of assets within a specific time period. Not only that, these candlestick is displayed in a graphical form which however denotes with the help of different colors a bullish and a bearish candlestick at given time period.

This graphical representation illustrating the highest and lowest price of an asset at a time period really aids investors in decision making.

Bullish candle

A bullish candle generally signifies an uptrend in price movements. It tells investors that the price of the asset is certainly rising due to the dominance of buyers in the market. For a bullish candle, the open price is obviously below the close price of the asset since a bullish candle is said to be rising.

For a bullish candle it is mostly denoted by a green color at default.

Bearish candle

A bearish candle signifies a downtrend in price movements. It tells investors that the price of the asset is fairly falling due to the dominance of sellers in the market. Considering a bearish candle, the open price is strictly above the close price of the asset since a bearish candle is said to be falling.

A bearish candle it is mostly denoted by a red color at default.
