Options Positioning Sentiment
Per-ticker options positioning sentiment (and recent history): VWKS (volume-weighted strike-spot “center of volume mass”) and AVAR (call vs put IV asymmetry), blended into a bullish/bearish score. Positive = bullish positioning (volume above spot, calls bid up); negative = bearish.
