For example, the chart above shows PFE with 1,537,952 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.44000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more selling than buying should cause prices to drop.
