that figure doesn't really tell you how many real dollars were added, but I can't think of any other way to measure it. You can chart money flow, but there is no practical way you can measure absolute dollars going in or out of the market. Prices and consequently market cap frequently move inverse to money flow, so measuring total market cap is deceptive. There are many situations where price can move up or down a lot with very little or inverse net change in the amount of absolute dollars invested. This is one of the reasons that it is referred to as a "bubble". Price moves up yet the money flow into an issue is negative, so it is essentially moving up on air.
