For example, the chart above shows EWZ with 2,809,535 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-2.08000. 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.
