Technically it´s called a GAP.
Im not a pro trader, but if there is an event that causes a big price diference right between the two trading periods (the trading periods in this type of chart are the candlesticks) then you see this different.
I can´t go further in my explanation but i will sure try to learn more about it. Good eye for details btw.

Hi Everyone,
I am trading for the first time on Bitfinex, and have what's hopefully a simple question.

In the image above, I put a box around two candlesticks. From reading articles, I'd expect the open and close prices to match up. But then why does the top of the first candlestick not align with the top of the second?
Thanks in advance!
