Wick

Also written or said as: wicks, shadow, long wick, wicked

The thin line above or below a candle, showing how far price went before snapping back.

A long upper wick means price shot up during that candle and sellers pushed it straight back down. On memecoins big wicks are common when a sniper or whale buys and someone sells right into them. Wicks show where buyers and sellers fought hardest.
