Why did the score rise from −34 to +19 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was −34.4 on 6 Oct, then rose to +68.1 on 8 Oct as the price moved from $482.27 to $479.01. It’s at +19.4 now.−2.2 from volume and +21.6 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.
