Japanese candles are the most famous methods of technical analysis and one of the easiest means of graphic representation in the financial markets, dating back to the Middle Ages around 1600 AD, when the Japanese used them in the rice trade. The Japanese candle expresses the price movement during a specific time period.
The Japanese candle consists of the opening price, the closing price, the highest price and the lowest price.
