Understanding Technical Chart Basics
When first displayed, a technical chart typically shows six months of daily price activity. Each bar represents the open, high, low, and close (OHLC) prices, with data points visible when hovering your mouse over the chart.
Volume Interpretation
The vertical bars below the price chart represent trading volume, color-coded to reflect daily market activity:
- Green bars: Price increased from previous day
- Red bars: Price decreased from previous day
- Blue bars: Price remained unchanged
For futures charts, a horizontal purple line above volume bars indicates open interest.

FAQ: SUI/USDT Chart Analysis
How do I read cryptocurrency price charts?
Cryptocurrency charts display price movements over time. Each bar/candle shows opening, closing, high and low prices for the selected timeframe, with volume indicating trading activity.
What's the difference between linear and logarithmic scales?
Linear scales show equal price increments, while logarithmic scales represent equal percentage changes - particularly useful for assets with large price swings like SUI/USDT.
How accurate are continuation charts for crypto analysis?
Continuation charts provide consistent month-based data but may not perfectly reflect actual contract prices. They're best for long-term trend analysis rather than precise entry/exit points.
Can I compare SUI/USDT with other cryptocurrency pairs?
Yes, comparison charts allow overlaying multiple pairs (up to three) to analyze relative performance using either price or percentage change metrics.
Why is volume important in crypto trading?
Volume confirms price trends - increasing volume during price moves suggests stronger conviction, while declining volume may signal weakening trends.
