Whiskers Meaning

In financial charting, whiskers are the thin lines extending above and below the body of a candlestick that represent the highest and lowest prices during a trading interval. The top of the upper whisker marks the highest price, while the bottom of the lower whisker marks the lowest price within the timeframe.

Whiskers provide insights into intraday volatility and market sentiment: long whiskers suggest that prices moved significantly before settling near the open or close, indicating buying or selling pressure.

Traders interpret whisker patterns alongside candle bodies to understand reversals, momentum, and support and resistance levels.
