This means that when OCFC closes above $18.27, we expect a short squeeze to begin that could quickly drive the price of OCFC considerably higher.


Friction Factor

Friction Factor determines if there is normal or abnormal behavior in the price action of the stock when compared to the buying vs. selling trading statistics. It shows us how many more shares of buying than selling it takes to move a stock higher by 1 cent, or how many more shares of selling than buying it takes to drop a stock by 1 cent. Here is how to understand Friction Factor:

  • If Friction Factor is positive, more buying than selling caused OCFC's price to rise
  • If Friction Factor is negative, more selling than buying caused OCFC's price to fall
  • If Friction Factor is 0, there was no discernable activity either way
  • If Friction Factor is abnormal, it means that more buying than selling caused the price to drop which is evidence of manipulative activity. In some cases more selling than buying can cause the price to increase. While this is rare, it must be noted as well. Friction Factor raw data.
