Please set me straight if the following is in error:

(Assuming a downward price pattern )

The problem with a price and volume is that it only shows how many
shares traded at a certain price. 

When vol decreases, we interpret it as selling pressure diminishing.
Looking at the old prices, we assume there is overhead supply waiting
to bail out if the price ever gets near break even (could be a faulty
assumption).

What we don't see is how many shares bought at some price have really
been sold at a loss, thus decreasing actual overhead supply.

It would be nice to see how many shares still exist at each buy point
in the past. Even better to see the shares that are inclined to sell on
the way up and those that would hold on for the long run.
