For example, the chart above shows XLB with a Net Buy Volume of 4,258,983 shares and a Friction Factor of 48,954 shares. That means that it takes 48,954 more shares of buying than selling to move XLB higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Wednesday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
