>>How do you determine block selling (as opposed to block buying)

I watch to see if the trade took place on the ask or bid when the
stock is not on the move...When it is on the move it becomes difficult to tell.

I have seen large blocks, up to 125K shrs traded on the bid.

Here is an example of a stock that I am bullish on...Note the odd-size trade of 54100 shrs. above the ask of 31-7/16.
