How to read a price chart

A price chart shows what a stock or coin has already done. That is all it is — a record of the past, drawn as a line. It does not predict the next move, and neither does any pattern drawn on top of it.

We show the trailing price so you have context for the forecast that follows. The forecast is a separate thing: a statement about how often situations like this one have resolved a certain way, with an honest range around it.

Read the chart to understand where a name has been. Read the forecast to understand how uncertain its next month is. They answer different questions.
