For example, the chart above shows OVTI with 671,533 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.40000. 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.
