These figures display the opening, high, low, and closing prices for a particular time frame, abbreviated as OHLC.

The main part of the candles shows how the price moved between when it opened and closed during a certain time, and it's used to find out a lot. As an example, the long blue part above meant there were many buyers, so the price was likely to continue going up in a positive trend.

The upper and lower shadows, which are the lines on the candle, will show the highest and lowest points the price reached.
