How to Read Bitcoin Charts
Bitcoin price charts typically use Japanese candlesticks to display price movements. Each candlestick represents a specific time frame (such as 1 minute, 1 hour, or 1 day) and shows the opening price, closing price, as well as the highest and lowest points during that period. In addition to candlestick patterns, these charts often feature technical analysis tools like support and resistance levels, trend lines, Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Fibonacci retracement levels—all of which help traders identify potential market trends and price reversals.
What Influences the Price of Bitcoin?
Like any tradable asset, Bitcoin’s price is primarily driven by supply and demand. However, global events and major announcements can significantly impact its value. For instance, during India’s 2016 banknote demonetization, Bitcoin saw a surge in demand—leading to prices in India trading 20% higher than the global average.
In 2019, Bitcoin’s bull run was partly attributed to Facebook’s announcement of the Libra project, which sparked optimism about mainstream crypto adoption. But as regulatory concerns around Libra grew, momentum slowed and prices dipped.
Another key factor influencing Bitcoin’s price is the activity of Bitcoin Whales—individuals or entities holding thousands of BTC. Their large transactions can trigger major price swings within a single day, adding volatility to the market.
