Bar Chart
A bar chart is a price chart that depicts each trading period (day, week, month, hour, minute, etc.) as a vertical line ("bar") ranging from the low price to the high price. Most bar charts also include two small hash marks on either side of the bar: one on the left that denotes the opening price and one on the right that denotes the closing price.
