OHLC

Open, High, Low, Close — the four key price points recorded for each time period on a price chart. OHLC data forms the basis of candlestick and bar charts, giving traders a complete picture of price action within each session or candle.

Example

The daily OHLC for Bitcoin showed an open of $65,000, high of $67,500, low of $64,200, and close of $66,800, forming a bullish candle on the chart.
