Price Chart

A graphical representation of a digital asset’s historical price movements over customizable timeframes.

What is Price Chart?

Price charts display a digital asset’s past prices, volumes, and trends using formats like line, bar, or candlestick, aiding technical analysis on platforms such as CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap. For Bitcoin, a daily candlestick chart shows open, high, low, and close prices, with green for gains and red for losses, over periods from 1 minute to 1 day. These charts integrate indicators like moving averages to predict future movements.

On Coinbase, the price chart sits beside the order book, updating in real-time with 24-hour volume changes, such as Bitcoin’s $2.4 trillion market cap showing a 6.61% volume increase. Traders identify patterns like head and shoulders or flags to forecast trends. For Ethereum, charts reveal dominance at 58.04% with recent decreases.
