For example, the chart above shows MO with a Net Buy Volume of 3,455,189 shares and a Friction Factor of 431,899 shares. That means that it takes 431,899 more shares of buying than selling to move MO 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.
