Why did the score rise from +8 to +60 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +11.1 on 7 Oct, then rose to +60.3 on 8 Oct as the price moved from $275.43 to $275.43. It’s at +60.3 now.+53.4 from volume and +6.9 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.
