Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  XLY     $-0.140   -0.32%    1,614,480    18.06%    3,257,974    36.44%    -1,643,494   -117,392

  TXN     $-0.530   -1.67%    8,213,128    43.51%    9,843,941    52.15%    -1,630,813   -30,770 
  AAPL    $-11.000  -1.92%    15,232,827   47.52%    16,754,910   52.27%    -1,522,083   -1,384  
  CSCO    $-0.270   -1.37%    29,927,472   44.46%    36,871,157   54.77%    -6,943,685   -257,174

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have low price friction combined with more selling than buying (negative Net Volume) 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 XLY down $-0.14000 with a Friction Factor of -117,392 and a Net Volume of -1,643,494. That means that it takes 117,392 more shares of selling than buying to drop XLY by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).
