     XLV        $-0.300      -0.83%       1,963,676       15.94%       5,593,964       45.40%       -3,630,288      -121,010
     XLK        $-0.210      -0.80%       2,503,121       16.12%       7,235,391       46.59%       -4,732,270      -225,346
     BPOP       $-0.120      -3.96%       15,636,463      43.11%       20,622,676      56.85%       -4,986,213      -415,518
     WFC        $-0.610      -2.13%       6,407,145       22.37%       9,499,297       33.16%       -3,092,152      -50,691 
     XLI        $-0.440      -1.16%       2,915,560       16.04%       6,494,997       35.74%       -3,579,437      -81,351 
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have low price friction combined with more selling than buying (negative Net Volume) in their stocks. 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 XLF down $-0.25000 with a Friction Factor of -152,766 and a Net Volume of -3,819,146. That means that it takes 152,766 more shares of selling than buying to drop XLF by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).
