<<The bid size is reflecting the "shares on sale", and the ask size is reflecting the
"shares in demand". Somebody corrects me if I am wrong. So, when the
bid size is larger than ask size, it usually drives the price down.>>

Just the opposite, a larger bid size represents that the stock price
can absorb a higher level of selling without pushing the stock down and
inversly, it takes that much less volume to drive the stock up.. I would
like to add that trying to trade on bid/ask size is a futile excercise.
It changes so rapidly, that you couldnt call/type in your order in time
to capitalize..
