Here is a list of the top companies with the highest net sell volume on Monday and lowest negative price Friction (bearish).

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 MFA down $-0.01000 with a Friction Factor of -1,297,436 and a Net Volume of -1,297,436. That means that it takes 1,297,436 more shares of selling than buying to drop MFA by one penny.
