What is Wick?
The thin line on a candlestick that shows the high and low prices reached during a specific period.
In-Depth Explanation
Also known as a "shadow." Long wicks often signal price rejection—if a candle has a long upper wick, it means buyers tried to push the price up but were met with strong selling pressure.
Practical Example
"A long lower wick at a support level suggests a potential reversal to the upside."
