By SRJahir Tech · March 2026 · 10 min read
Stock market mein chart reading ek fundamental skill hai. Chahe tum long-term investor ho ya short-term trader, charts samajhna zaroori hai. Charts basically ek stock ki price history dikhate hain visual form mein — past mein kya hua, abhi kya ho raha hai, aur possibly aage kya ho sakta hai. Chalein step by step samajhte hain.
Chart Ke Types
Teen main types hain — Line Chart (sabse simple, sirf closing price connect karta hai), Bar Chart (open, high, low, close dikhata hai har din ka), aur Candlestick Chart (sabse popular, bar chart jaisa lekin visually better). Hum candlestick charts pe focus karenge kyunki ye sabse zyada use hota hai professional traders mein.
Candlestick Basics
Ek candlestick ek time period ki price action dikhata hai (1 day, 1 hour, 15 min — jo bhi select karo). Har candle mein 4 points hote hain — Open (kahan se start hua), Close (kahan pe end hua), High (din ka sabse upar), Low (din ka sabse neeche). Agar close, open se upar hai toh candle green/white hoti hai (bullish — achha). Agar close neeche hai toh red/black (bearish — bura).
Support Aur Resistance
Ye chart reading ka sabse important concept hai. Support wo level hai jahan stock girte girte ruk jaata hai — jaise ek floor. Resistance wo level hai jahan stock badhte badhte ruk jaata hai — jaise ek ceiling. Jab stock support tod de (break kare) toh aur neeche ja sakta hai. Jab resistance tod de toh aur upar ja sakta hai — ise breakout bolte hain.
Moving Averages
Moving average ek line hai jo past X days ki average price dikhati hai. 50-day MA aur 200-day MA sabse common hain. Jab stock ki price MA ke upar hai toh bullish signal, neeche hai toh bearish. Jab 50-day MA 200-day MA ko upar se cross kare toh "Golden Cross" (strong buy signal), neeche se cross kare toh "Death Cross" (sell signal).
Volume — Sabse Ignored Lekin Important
Volume matlab kitne shares trade hue us din. High volume ke saath price move reliable hota hai. Low volume ke saath price move pe trust mat karo. Agar stock 5% upar gaya but volume normal hai — toh move weak hai. Agar 5% upar gaya aur volume 3x normal hai — toh move strong hai aur aur upar ja sakta hai.
Timeframe Selection
Long-term investors weekly ya monthly chart dekhte hain. Swing traders (2-10 din hold) daily chart dekhte hain. Intraday traders 5-minute ya 15-minute chart dekhte hain. Important hai ki tum apne investment style ke hisaab se sahi timeframe choose karo.
