For example, the chart above shows SIRI with a Net Buy Volume of 20,463,764 shares and a Friction Factor of 2,273,752 shares. That means that it takes 2,273,752 more shares of buying than selling to move SIRI higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Friday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
