What is the trend?

Where's the volume? I always felt that it was too difficult to make it on candles and their patterns (or language) alone, that you needed at least one extra idea of volume, trendlines, support/resistance lines, or other. I do follow, though. ...

Understanding how the markets really work

Would this interpretation be approximately correct? In the first chart, in a sideways candle (the spinning top), ask is twice bid volume. Normally, price'd zoom up if lots of people are buying the symbol; thus, price went down. The third chart says ...
