About Candlestick Chart
Candlestick Chart draws open, high, low and close candles with wicks and optional volume bars, growing in left to right. A crosshair, a price tag on the axis and an OHLC readout follow the pointer or the arrow keys.
Candlestick Chart is an animated chart for React 19, styled with Tailwind CSS 4 and animated with Motion. It drops into Next.js, Vite, Remix or Astro through the shadcn CLI as a single file you own.
When to use Candlestick Chart
- Trading and crypto dashboards.
- Stock pages in finance apps.
- Backtest and strategy reports.
- Any time series with a range per period.
How it works
It is plain SVG scaled to your data, with gridlines and axis labels computed in the file. Arrow keys move the crosshair candle by candle, so the readout is reachable without a mouse.
Each chart has a text alternative, hover tooltips are mirrored by keyboard focus where data points are interactive, and colour is never the only way a value is shown. With prefers-reduced-motion on, it holds still or settles instantly instead of animating.
Customizing Candlestick Chart
Every prop is documented in the API reference above with its type and default. The ones you will reach for first are listed here.
The Customize panel next to the preview lets you change candles, volume live, and the Code tab updates to match, so the snippet you copy already carries your values.
- data.
- volume (boolean, default true).
- width / height (number, default 640 / 300).
