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 GILD with 2,041,766 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.96000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more buying than selling should cause prices to rise. GILEAD SCIENCES, INC.
