     SPRT       $0.560       21.87%       446,271         51.06%       427,746         48.94%       18,525          331     
     IPSU       $2.640       78.57%       4,273,809       52.29%       3,864,217       47.28%       409,592         1,551

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and low price friction 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 CYAN with a dollar gain Thursday of $2.75000 and a Friction Factor of 186 shares. That means that it only took 186 more shares of buying than selling to move CYAN higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.
