Candle close
Technical analysisAlso called: Closed candle, Candle completion
The final price of the period a candle represents, and the only value on a live candle that is not still provisional.
In plain terms
The open is fixed and the extremes only widen, but the close keeps moving — so the body can flip colour and a wick can vanish entirely before the bell. Every candlestick pattern is defined on closed candles.
