It's a standard technique when trading.
If you want to buy:
1. Enter small bid stack.
2. Enter large sell stack, close to the bid
3. Other sellers see the wall, get impatient, and hit your bid.
4. If it looks like your sell orders may get hit,  remove the wall immediately.

If you alternate this buying and selling, you make profit on the price spread.
