Candles show open, high, low and close. RSI above 70 signals overbought, below 30 oversold. MACD uses 12, 26 and 9 periods. The 50 and 200 day moving averages show trend.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

To read a stock chart, start with the candlesticks to see where price opened, closed and moved, then check volume to judge how strong the move was. Mark the support and resistance levels, use the 50-day and 200-day moving averages to judge the trend, and add RSI and MACD to gauge momentum. No indicator predicts the future, so use them to plan entries and stop-losses rather than to guess.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Knowing how to read a stock chart gives you a view of what buyers and sellers have actually done, which is information a headline cannot give. A chart condenses thousands of trades into a picture that shows the trend, the levels where the stock stalled and the strength behind each move.<\/p>\n

This beginner guide on reading a stock chart takes you from a single candle to using the common indicators together, with a plain explanation of what each one can and cannot tell you.<\/p>\n
