1. Line Chart

The simplest chart displays a line connecting consecutive closing prices to show price movement over a specific period.

2. Bar Chart

A basic chart displaying market price data over a specific period, showing:

2. • Opening and closing prices

   • High and low prices

   • Vertical lines marking high and low prices

   • Horizontal lines indicating opening and closing prices

3. Candlestick Chart

The most popular chart, representing prices with a thick body and upper and lower shadows, indicates:

3. • High and low prices (upper and lower shadow tips)

   • Opening and closing prices (body top and bottom)

   • Body color indicating bullish (green, blue, or white) or bearish (red or black) trends

   • Body length showing the difference between opening and closing prices

Conclusion

Candlestick charts offer advanced insights, but all chart types require drawing trend lines to determine price direction. Understanding these chart types and their applications is crucial for technical analysis.

I made minor adjustments for clarity and consistency:

• Added "primary" to emphasize the three main chart types.

• Changed "almost everything" to "market data" for better context.

• Added "consecutive" to describe the closing prices in a line chart.

• Emphasized the importance of trend lines in the conclusion.
