I am not sure if you meant that it was handed to me by GO, but I actually got it last year after hundreds of password tries.
Another thing that might be interesting, or not, to look at when looking at bars is the percent (or number of points) of a bar that overlap with the previous bars. In sharp moves, there is not much overlapping. (as a consequence, in overlapping/ranging areas the close of the area will be not too far from the open). Of course, this is visually easy to see, but observing the overlapping percentage can give some mathematical confirmation.
Another thing among others that I am observing now, is that we may consider that the Markets is quite steady in his behaviour when not disturbed, but when MM (or Big Money ?) enter the Market, that will create distortion (V or A moves) and after their operating the Market will somehow resume his previous steady path, as you can see on these examples below. I am not sure yet if it can be of any help for analysis, but maybe it can help to better identify the players and their agenda. It is not always as obvious as in my examples below, but it is to give an idea. (I just used the channels to see more easily the similitudes between the trend before and after the "move" ) I highlighted only few.
The most important thing on the chart might be the empty space, not the bars. The empty space draws the bars, the bars do not draw themselves on the empty space (if it makes any sense) But how can we analyse that empty space, what can we do with it ?
What is happening here ?
And then, what can we do with Time and this empty space ?
These are true questions, I don't have any answer unfortunately.
The tiny realisation I had changes the way to see at Markets, but is not enough for me to make the big leap. It's more like having only the toes on the other side

Remember that I've lost my marbles so please don't take anything I say too literally. Well done for cracking the password, it seems I was mistaken about GO.
Markets tend to move as a reaction to news but I've often noticed significant price movement prior to news announcements, possibly because a few know the news in advance or more likely its a case of positions being closed or opened in anticipation. Sometimes prices suddenly move for no apparent news related reason, which I presume is due to a major player dominating a market for a short period of time until a large buy or sell campaign completes, resulting in a shift to a new level, sometimes followed by price decaying back.
