Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  IWM     $1.040    0.01%     5,987,851    27.41%    7,583,077    34.71%    -1,595,226   Abnormal

  BAC     $0.450    0.02%     24,935,135   30.72%    30,312,157   37.35%    -5,377,022   Abnormal
  XOM     $1.590    0.02%     8,070,234    14.60%    17,914,043   32.41%    -9,843,809   Abnormal

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Thursday and their stock prices rose. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.

For example, the chart above shows IWM with 1,595,226 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $1.04000. 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.
