It's the Market Depth screen, and there is little reason to get wound-up about it.
Rarely will market participants give their true intentions away by placing orders at the "true" levels, especially their intended sell levels. Any positions further than about 20% away from the top are either stale Bulls or Bears that didn't bother removing an unfilled order, or they're test balloons, placed to give you an impression - which is usually deceptive. As it's impossible to tell which is which, I only look at positions that are within a daily trading range.

It is far more telling to watch actual transactions and take note of the direction: Does a buyer come from off-screen to buy the top offer? If so, do more offers come in or are any offers pulled and/or moved higher?
And vice versa, when the top line of bids gets hit by a sell order...



As soon as I snapped the above depth screen, it was already obsolete.
