A candlestick chart is a tool used in technical analysis to track price movements in commodities or financial markets. It consists of four key prices: the opening price, closing price, highest price, and lowest price, forming a candle-like shape. The chart visually displays market trends, buying and selling pressure, and price fluctuations, helping investors quickly understand market conditions. Different colors represent price increases or decreases, while the shape of the candlestick reflects market sentiment. Although a candlestick chart is a powerful tool, it has limitations and should be used alongside other analysis methods for more comprehensive investment decisions.

Testnet Reset
Stellar has announced key dates for Protocol 23. On August 14, the testnet will be reset, clearing all accounts, assets, and contracts. Developers are advised to back up and recreate essential data. Stable builds will also be available on that date. A vote on the mainnet upgrade is scheduled for September 3. All Stellar software, including Core, RPC, Horizon, and SDKs, must be upgraded after the reset, regardless of July updates. This reset lies outside the typical protocol upgrade process and is prompted by essential changes to Stellar Core.
