What is a Price Chart?

A price chart reveals graphically how a particular market is performing or has performed in the past. It is a graphic representation of historical and current price data. Bars represent price data, with one bar being drawn for each specified interval. An interval may be based one of the following:

  • Time period
  • Trading volume
  • Number of ticks

A price chart graphs price along the y-axis and graphs time, trading volume, or ticks along the x-axis.
