MTM goes through this. When we call things 'Hidden' it's not because they dont quite match the criteria required, its because we are looking at a different bar with a different name. EG - An UT is an up bar. A hidden UT is a down bar. Read MTM for all the terms.
The confusion comes in when people (myself included) get used to miss-labelling their charts. Also some people missuse the 'hidden' label and that adds to the confusion.
ps 'hidden test' is the one that makes me laugh. Some of the uses of that label are WILDLY out of whack!!!!!
, that "hidden UT" is a down bar and you can read about it in mtm. That's because VSA doesn't care about the open of the bar, so it doesn't know whether it is an up or down bar. 
an ut is an ut, just defined by the shape of it.
the real ones poking out which everybody can see are preferably the stophunt bars sitting at tops/ lows. hidden was just added due to the fact, that those uts can form mostly inside the range of other bars, therefore "hidden" but adding to weakness since strong markets do not produce those bars.
Which way it is pointing?
I don't know but volume on my chart is showing me f*uck you. Is there any f*uck you set up in VSA?
