Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bullish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices rose.

     XLV        $0.070       0.21%        3,399,864       38.60%       5,254,327       59.65%       -1,854,463      Abnormal

     GLD        $1.580       1.14%        6,984,127       40.02%       9,278,517       53.16%       -2,294,390      Abnormal

     TEL        $0.020       0.06%        1,283,883       36.37%       2,253,079       63.82%       -969,196        Abnormal

For example, the chart above shows XLV with 1,854,463 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.07000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more selling than buying should cause prices to drop.
