Why did the score rise from +0 to +49 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +5.4 on 2 Oct, then rose to +46.4 on 3 Oct as the price moved from $182.38 to $180.80. It’s at +49.1 now.+34.2 from volume and +14.9 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.
