For sake of argument...let's say volume is 1,000,000 shares on any given day and less than 100,000 can be attributed to retail customers (simple calculation, since retail can't short and short volume is very high each day). Algo's are trading against themselves and can put up whatever bid/ask stacks they want...got nothing to with retail traders they prey upon. One might think the algo's are written to spoof these numbers to get retail customers to react. They have the retail book the retail book, ie, they see all the retail bid/ask intended trades. It's like playing heads up poker and you can see your opponents cards and your opponent can't see yours. Who wins??
