     BSX        $-0.140      -1.78%       10,962,386      48.17%       9,851,315       43.29%       1,111,071       Abnormal

     FXI        $-0.110      -0.25%       8,529,527       71.45%       5,548,161       46.48%       2,981,366       Abnormal

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Wednesday and their stock prices dropped. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.

For example, the chart above shows FXI with 2,981,366 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.11000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more buying than selling should cause prices to rise.
