Shade

What's a shadow, fam? 🤔

When peeps chat about Japanese candlesticks, shadows are what come through when prices are doing their thing outside of those open and close marks. 💹

Basically, those thin lines that stick out above and below the body are flexing the high/low scene and are called shadows. 🌟

Every candlestick chart gotta have an opening, closing, and the high/low deets (OHLC). Once you slap those numbers on the chart, you got yourself a candlestick. 🌿

Shadows are those lines chillin’ above and below the body on a candlestick chart;

• The top part of the upper shadow is called the "high" and is also known as the "wick". 🔥
• The bottom part of the lower shadow is the "low" and is called the "tail". 🎣

So yeah, both the wick and tail also vibe as “shadows”. 😎

How long these shadows stretch tells traders what’s poppin’ with buying and selling pressure in the candlestick. 💪📈
