Why did the score rise from +6 to +21 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was −11.8 on 8 Oct, then rose to +20.6 on 9 Oct as the price moved from $479.48 to $481.70. It’s at +20.6 now.+22.7 from volume and −2.2 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.
