Week 4 Session: Reading Price

A chart-interpretation session, applying this week’s candlestick, volume and trend vocabulary to real historical charts — with no simulated trade placed against any of them.

What you’re given#

A set of historical price charts (candlesticks and volume, unlabelled) drawn from real market history, used here purely as reading material rather than a trading decision.

What you do#

Annotate each chart: mark at least one trend, one range, and one support/resistance zone, then write down what you’d still need to know before treating any of those marks as a reason to trade — the lecture’s observation-versus-assumption line, applied by hand.

What you produce#

A set of annotated charts plus, per chart, one sentence on what’s missing between “I can see this pattern” and “this is a reason to act.”

Why it matters#

Weeks 5 through 7 assume this vocabulary is already shared — nobody re-learns what a support zone is once risk and trade plans enter the picture.
