Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bullish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices rose.

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction DAL $0.300 2.60% 7,503,924 29.74% 9,586,324 37.99% -2,082,400 Abnormal BBD $0.350 2.03% 2,633,618 22.50% 5,407,672 46.20% -2,774,054 Abnormal C $0.040 0.10% 13,382,147 29.31% 15,750,341 34.50% -2,368,194 Abnormal HMA $0.470 5.48% 4,809,216 26.29% 8,388,829 45.85% -3,579,613 Abnormal INTC $0.110 0.52% 22,643,340 43.44% 28,510,887 54.70% -5,867,547 Abnormal FVSTA $0.010 50.00% 36,000 1.76% 2,013,092 98.24% -1,977,092 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Wednesday 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 DAL with 2,082,400 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.30000. 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.
