For example, the chart above shows ORCL with 3,202,029 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.87000. 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.
