Some clarification on Order Blocks please?

So these Buy to sell and Sell to buy candles in order blocks are bugging my mind. I must be over thinking this. If smart money comes in and has a buy to sell order block, does that mean:

1. they are buying a large amount of currency?
2. If so, why would the currency go shooting downward? Shouldn't it go up? If I have 100 apples and someone comes in and buys 80, the price for each apple would rise wouldn't it since now there are less sellers? And less apples for sale?
3. If they buy a large amount of currency, a buy to sell, and then the price plummets, wouldn't they be losing all kinds of money on that order? Since the price of the currency they just bought is now worth less?

Same is true for Sell to buy obviously, same questions apply, just in reverse. This is really bugging my mind, so if someone smarter than myself could explain this to me that would be really awesome. I understand how the order block smart money works, but I need to understand why.

OK. I may have had an epiphany. The buy to sell candle is smart money putting in a big order to get traders to go long, then smart money places another sell order, a huge one or series of them, and makes money all the way down, and then brings price back to the original buy to sell candle to close out the buy order at break even. Is that right?

What are you even rambling on about? What the fuck is a buy to sell candles and order blocks? Sounds like jargon you've imagined.

And talking about "smart money" isn't smart.

To be clear, the purpose of your post wasn't to help the OP, but to make you feel better and superior to the OP. It took you more time to be a mean spirited jerk than had you just scrolled on. The only reaon I"m bothering to reply here is because I read your post, and I saw that you've been here since 2009 and you're just now hearing about "order blocks?"

OP, I don't trade using "smart money concepts" and I can't help you. But neither can this 13-year member of FF and you should ignore him.

To be clear, I am better and superior. And regardless of how long I've been here or elsewhere, I've not heard anyone refer to buy to sell or sell to buy candles in order blocks. So, jog on, clown. Your inability to discern is not my concern.

I answered my own question, so thanks anyway. This thread can be deleted.

You’re already smart if you ask questions such as why something works, not how it works. Many treat order blocks (actually the same support and resistance levels just with different names) as just a zone from where price should retrace, not even thinking about why it should retrace from its zone.

The main thing about trading is that the price always seeks a balance between market participants: buyers and sellers. If there is too much ask from the buyer, the price becomes overextended upwards, looking for sellers to achieve the fair value - balance.

I recommend you to learn some basics about trading through action market theory. I’m sure you’ll find answers to your questions. Trading is all about supply and demand, interactions between buyers and sellers, their reaction to market events. It’s not expressed by some order block or fair value gap.

I think order blocks make more sense when you treat them as areas of liquidity and imbalance, not as some magic candle. Traders get less confused when they study market structure first, then use order blocks only as a confirmation area

Where are you getting your info from telling you that large volume is being traded?
If you're trading spot currencies then your broker is most likely not plugged into any large liquidity pools that are the spotfx market.
And if they were plugged into one of these pools then they wouldn't be plugged into all of them.
The only way to know in spotfx if large vol/block trades are going through is trading at highs and lows/areas of high importance.
