Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     XLE        $0.320       0.40%        8,538,073       44.25%       10,907,673      56.53%       -2,369,600      Abnormal
     XLK        $0.040       0.14%        3,663,313       36.93%       6,410,621       64.63%       -2,747,308      Abnormal
     INTC       $0.240       1.23%        29,648,415      47.49%       33,929,444      54.35%       -4,281,029      Abnormal
     ISPH       $0.980       24.62%       22,773,642      41.41%       32,182,604      58.51%       -9,408,962      Abnormal
     RRD        $0.140       0.74%        485,413         16.24%       2,494,884       83.47%       -2,009,471      Abnormal
     SNY        $0.280       0.78%        893,617         11.66%       6,624,894       86.45%       -5,731,277      Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Tuesday and their stock prices rose. 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 XLE with 2,369,600 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.32000. 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.
