Wicks and bodies

3 minMembers

CryptoBipto is a crypto education platform. It does not buy, sell, hold or send cryptocurrency for anyone, and it does not give financial advice.

The body is the distance travelled

The body spans the open and the close, so its height is simply how far price moved over that slice of time.

A long body means price ended far from where it started. A short body means it ended close to where it started, however much it wandered in between.
