Why did the score rise from −31 to −10 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was −28.5 on 3 Oct, then rose to −10.1 on 4 Oct as the price moved from $214.06 to $214.06. It’s at −9.7 now.−12.6 from volume and +2.9 from open interest. I can’t split past days the same way: the stored history keeps call/put volume but not open interest for past days.
