For example, the chart above shows BAC with a Net Buy Volume of 38,695,149 shares and a Friction Factor of 2,036,587 shares. That means that it takes 2,036,587 more shares of buying than selling to move BAC 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.
