     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     NVDA       $1.610       8.10%        22,121,485      52.52%       19,715,855      46.81%       2,405,630       14,942  
     KG         $0.070       0.50%        3,133,357       76.06%       754,806         18.32%       2,378,551       339,793 
     MDT        $0.090       0.25%        6,340,569       60.03%       3,703,871       35.07%       2,636,698       292,966 
     TSM        $0.270       2.07%        8,482,851       52.93%       6,127,302       38.23%       2,355,549       87,243  
     XLP        $0.040       0.15%        3,964,075       88.51%       1,585,226       35.40%       2,378,849       594,712 
     BAC        $0.150       1.05%        83,695,097      45.67%       79,616,064      43.45%       4,079,033       271,936 

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar gains (Change) and very low price friction in their stocks. 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 BAC with a Net Buy Volume of 4,079,033 shares and a Friction Factor of 271,936 shares. That means that it takes 271,936 more shares of buying than selling to move BAC higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Monday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
