{commodity_code} to {currency_code} Real-Time Price Chart Explained

CryptoMarket features a price chart that combines a representation of a digital asset's Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a candlestick visualization of its price history. The EMA consists of the two lines running across the chart that are formed using {commodity_name}'s historical data when paired with {commodity_name} and represent {commodity_code}'s performance for a given amount of time in terms of {currency_code}. EMAs are among the most widely used methods (in the crypto sphere as well as the world of stocks) of measuring the way a cryptocurrency is trending.

The second part of the graphic is a {commodity_name} candlestick chart. Candlestick charts are based upon the following five values:

O - open

H - high

L - low

C - close

V - volume

When looking at the chart, the rectangle figures each represent the trading activity of {commodity_code} for a single day. The candles in the middle of the chart running along the lines of the EMA illustrate the first four values measured in {commodity_name}. The ends of each vertical line mark the {commodity_name}'s high and low prices for the day. The body of the candle marks the movement between{commodity_code}'s opening and closing prices. If a candle is green, the price has increased; if red, it has decreased. The candlesticks at the base of the chart are used to display daily trading volume in terms of {currency_code}.
