For example, the chart above shows XLY with a Net Buy Volume of 2,045,370 shares and a Friction Factor of 170,448 shares. That means that it takes 170,448 more shares of buying than selling to move XLY higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Tuesday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
