For example, the chart above shows C with a Net Buy Volume of 5,309,303 shares and a Friction Factor of 230,839 shares. That means that it takes 230,839 more shares of buying than selling to move C higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Thursday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
