Typically, I am accustomed to seeing things like "ask":1.0123, "last":1.0118, "bid":1.0113 but every now and then I'll catch something doing "ask":1.0118, "last":1.0123, "bid":1.0113, what, if anything is this a sign of? My best guess is that you have less ground to cover in order to meet your sell goal.

It means that the market has dropped and someone is willing to sell below the last traded price. So there is some level of selling pressure that is driving prices down.

A locked market is where a buy order at one exchange isthe same price as a sell order at another exchange.
A crossed market is when the bid price of a security exceeds the ask price.
These can happen for several reasons.
There are multiple exchanges operating at different speeds and proper bid/ask matching fails.
It's a fast market where there's a high influx of orders, occurring most often on the Nasdaq during after market hours
It's a stale quote that market makers failed to remove
