What the score is reading for CDNS
At the Friday 2 October close, CDNS scored 79, fifth of the 34 names here. The two inputs furthest above the board's median that session — not simply the largest, which is what separates CDNS from any other name that had a good day — were relative strength at +8.5 and drawdown at -1.2. Pulling the other way was volume at -2.8 — whether the move is drawing unusual participation, signed by the direction of the move.
Across the 16 sessions recorded since 3 September, CDNS has scored between 6 and 85, and that 79 sits near the top of that range. Net across the window it is up 57 points, and the largest single-session move was a rise of 23 points on 30 September.
