Why did the score drop from +54 to +24 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +54.0 on 1 Oct, then fell to −2.3 on 2 Oct as the price moved from $113.58 to $113.13. It’s at +24.5 now.+25.4 from volume and −0.9 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.
