The body of the candle points the difference between the open and close points. If it is white (or green/blue on a colored chart) the open is the lower boundary of the elongated body and the price marked up during the period you are reckoning. Should it be black or red in charts with color, the top extent indicates the opening rate and during that period, the price descended down.

In candles, vertical lines pointing up from the top and down from the bottom are referred as wicks. The highest rate ever obtained during the period is the top of the upper wick section. Contrastingly, the lowest price is the bottom of the lower wick area.

This style of analysis allows the trader to know at a glance if values tumbled or shot up during the analysis time frame. Bear markets are represented by green or white candles whereas bull markets are signified by red or black candles.
