     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     XLF        $-0.010      -0.09%       30,713,409      49.34%       40,864,464      65.65%       -10,151,055     -10,151,055
     EEM        $-0.010      -0.02%       34,157,203      44.53%       44,957,164      58.62%       -10,799,961     -10,799,961
     BAC        $-0.120      -0.83%       59,087,360      43.44%       64,349,646      47.31%       -5,262,286      -438,524
     MRK        $-0.040      -0.12%       9,091,171       36.00%       14,824,374      58.70%       -5,733,203      -1,433,301
     Q          $-0.030      -0.42%       5,058,314       20.81%       17,548,547      72.19%       -12,490,233     -4,163,411
     ORCL       $-0.340      -1.03%       15,316,360      39.59%       22,689,876      58.65%       -7,373,516      -216,868

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have low price friction combined with more selling than buying (negative Net Volume) 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 ORCL down $-0.34000 with a Friction Factor of -216,868 and a Net Volume of -7,373,516. That means that it takes 216,868 more shares of selling than buying to drop ORCL by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).
