Ok you evidently have issued understanding so let me put things plainly for you - below mid point the trades automatically show as a sell (red) above the mid point and its a buy. These are all assumptions based on the mid point and are suggestive, now with the spread tighter then the spread suggests (0.48 to sell and 0.5 to buy) it is a clear move by the MM's to encourage sells. There has been a block buyer taking up liquidity - 1m today (at 0.5) , 2m on Friday at 0.51 and 7m on Wednesday and Thursday at 0.5p.
If the MM's wanted to then they could very easily lower the spread to 0.48-0.5 (which is what it should be) but they are in an accumulation phase for their strategic buyer, so its advantageous for them to raise the bid to keep these true buys concealed and get the naive ones, like yourself on a doom and gloom bandwagon - seeing red or blue is no indication of an actual trade, you are quite simply clueless with regards to market mechanics and trade reporting.
