For example, the chart above shows C with a Net Buy Volume of 1,874,806 shares and a Friction Factor of 89,276 shares. That means that it takes 89,276 more shares of buying than selling to move C higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Monday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
