You are highly encouraged to seek other materials online to learn from and the advice and information you will hear are my personal thoughts on candlesticks
Candles represent both Buyers and Sellers in a given period
Open and Close of a candlestick depends on whether it is Bullish (Price rising) or Bearish (Price falling)
Bullish (Green) - Open is the bottom of the green candle and close is the top
Bearish Candle (Red) - Open is the top of the red candle and the bottom is the close
Wicks (aka Shadows, Tails) - represent the high or low of the candle
Each candle can tell us whether the market was bullish or bearish for that time period
Remember, that a single candle is an indicator of the current price action, it is not a guarantee that the price will continue higher or reverse lower.
Always use other methods of confirmation: Trend lines, candle patterns, or continuation candles.
