Closing price
The last price of a trading day. Many indicators are based on it.
The closing price is the last price at which a security trades on its exchange on a given day. It is treated as the "official" value for the day and feeds many indicators and charts, such as the daily change in percent or moving averages.
Each day also has an opening price, a daily high and a daily low. Together they form one candle in a chart.
