What you’ll learn: why ‘more buyers than sellers’ is impossible (buy volume equals sell volume on every trade, by definition), resting limit orders vs aggressive market orders and why only aggression moves price, the price engine – watching market orders eat the order book level by level, imbalance as urgency vs patience, why price can move with zero trades (the vacuum, and why markets gap overnight), sell the news explained – why markets top on good news and bottom on bad, the market as a continuous auction, reading the tape live on Coinbase, and why every candlestick is a battle report of aggression meeting liquidity. Homework: watch one minute of the tape, count aggressive buys vs sells, comment the tally – first 50 graded.
