candlestick

A tiny picture of price for one stretch of time, showing where it started, its highest and lowest points, and where it finished.

The fuller meaning

A chart bar showing one period's open, high, low and close: the body spans open to close and the wicks reach the high and low. Colour compares the close with the candle's own open. A candle records a period's result, not every move inside it, and it is not a forecast.
