Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Friday and low price friction (bullish).

For example, the chart above shows OPLK with a dollar gain Friday of $2.05000 and a Friction Factor of 214 shares. That means that it only took 214 more shares of buying than selling to move OPLK higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.
