Does a dark-pool print show whether an institution bought or sold?
Usually not by itself. A print records a transaction, while its directional meaning must be inferred cautiously from later price and volume behavior.

- Cluster repeated activity into practical reference zones.
- Track acceptance, rejection, and volume when price retests a zone.
