For example, the chart above shows C with 1,653,018 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.85000. 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.
