So I've been watching bitcoinwisdom the past couple of weeks just for fun, but what confuses me about the information displayed are the values I have highlighted in the capture I'm posting.
It seems like they're ask/offers, but why do they form like a sort of inverse bell curve with the highest concentration of buy and sells at the highest and lowest values?
Also, what are those random numbers that appear occasionally in the left column?
And finally, why when even one extreme has much higher volume (something like 10k offers in the 800-900 range when only maybe 5k in the 500-700) does it not weigh the current price more in the favour of the higher volume?
Thanks to any answers!
