Why did the score rise from −37 to +47 this week?
FlowDesk
It moved over several days. The composite was +14.2 on 3 Oct, then rose to +46.8 on 4 Oct as the price moved from $85.15 to $85.15. It’s at +46.5 now.+31.9 from volume and +14.6 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.
