Low Price
The lowest price reached by a security during a specific time period. Used to identify support levels and calculate volatility measures.
Introduction
The Low Price represents the lowest price reached during a specific time period and is a neutral indicator that provides crucial information for both LONG and SHORT strategies. It serves as the primary reference for support levels, breakdown signals, and volatility measurement in cryptocurrency markets.
How Low Price Works
The Low Price represents the minimum price reached during a specific time period (candle). It shows the lowest point that sellers were willing to accept during that period, making it essential for identifying support levels and potential breakdown points.
