These are drawn using color coding:



  • Red bar - XAUUSD Price went down
  • Blue bar - XAUUSD Price market went up


These bars also have horizontal line to the left and to the right; these are used to show the opening (left horizontal dash) and the closing (right horizontal dash).


The highest point shows the high of the xauusd price


The Lowest point shows the low of the xauusd price


These four points Open, High, Close, Low are Known as OHCL, abbreviation of the first letter for these four levels, these four OHCL levels will be represented on every single bar.


These charts are not very popular among XAUUSD traders as they are not very appealing in terms of technical analysis and traders tend to favor other types.
