Your data need to be in an xts object, or something that can be
converted to an xts object via as.xts().  I recommend the former.

Lines <-
"01/01/2000;970,1877
02/01/2000;970,2224
03/01/2000;969,0336
04/01/2000;958,3023
05/01/2000;952,8527"

library(quantmod)
X <- as.xts(read.zoo(text=Lines, sep=";", dec=",", format="%m/%d/%Y"))
chartSeries(X, theme="white", TA="addBBands(200,2)")
