ⓘMethodology. The score and label come directly from the dashboard's own sentiment model. Volatility band is derived from VIX at sync time: under 15 is Low, 15–25 is Moderate, above 25 is High. COT figure is raw net positioning, not a 0–100 score. Every sync writes a new row rather than overwriting the last one, which is what makes the chart above a real archive rather than a snapshot.
No shifts recorded yet. This list fills in as syncs accumulate over time.
