     IWM        $0.260       0.33%        34,810,857      46.49%       38,615,583      51.57%       -3,804,726      Abnormal

     RCRC       $2.810       11.01%       5,911,292       39.42%       9,162,698       61.10%       -3,251,406      Abnormal

For example, the chart above shows IWM with 3,804,726 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.26000. 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.
