     SPY        $-0.250      -0.18%       32,753,467      26.25%       31,257,347      25.05%       1,496,120       Abnormal

For example, the chart above shows SPY with 1,496,120 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.25000. 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.
