Why did the score rise from −18 to −3 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was −18.1 on 1 Oct, then rose to −5.5 on 2 Oct as the price moved from $367.70 to $365.20. It’s at −2.7 now.+3.4 from volume and −6.1 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.
