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

For example, the chart above shows IWM with 1,548,118 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.40000. 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.
