What a Candle Shows — and What OHLC Hides

OHLC candles explain gold price action, but here's what they leave out.

A candle gives you 4 numbers: Open, High, Low, Close. That's it. It doesn't show the path price took inside the candle, how much volume traded at each price, or who was aggressive, buyers or sellers.

Candles show WHAT happened. Volume shows WHO, WHERE, and HOW HARD.

Myth check: 'a long wick always means strong rejection' is a common claim, but it's unproven. Check the volume behind it before you trust it.

More information is not an automatic edge. It just means you're seeing the past more clearly.
