We have a new player on the bid side: SUNR.He is not a market maker;he is an order entry firm

Order-Entry Firms
Order-entry firms are also Nasdaq market participants. Order-entry firms enter and execute orders through Nasdaq on behalf of retail and institutional customers and other broker/dealers, but they do not maintain buy or sell price quotations in Nasdaq-listed securities. Like ECNs, order-entry firms do not commit capital to stocks, but they do increase the competition among market participants — helping to keep stock prices competitive and adding to the market's liquidity.
