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

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction MTG $-0.030 -0.60% 5,083,055 28.74% 6,781,352 38.34% -1,698,297 -566,099 MS $-0.050 -0.22% 5,238,032 25.27% 7,144,573 34.47% -1,906,541 -381,308 S $-0.020 -0.34% 6,295,884 30.98% 9,044,045 44.51% -2,748,161 -1,374,081 AMTD $-0.120 -0.57% 2,601,527 25.91% 5,131,210 51.10% -2,529,683 -210,807 ANAD $-0.240 -10.86% 2,268,549 34.25% 4,310,482 65.07% -2,041,933 -85,081 ARR $-0.300 -4.57% 10,537,585 30.82% 14,926,260 43.65% -4,388,675 -146,289 Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have low price friction combined with more selling than buying (negative Net Volume) in their stocks. 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 MTG down $-0.03000 with a Friction Factor of -566,099 and a Net Volume of -1,698,297. That means that it takes 566,099 more shares of selling than buying to drop MTG by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).
