For example, the chart above shows KO with a Net Buy Volume of 6,011,338 shares and a Friction Factor of 400,756 shares. That means that it takes 400,756 more shares of buying than selling to move KO 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.
