Spot $98.49 highlighted. The $110 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 5,298). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score rise from −7 to +26 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was −13.5 on 7 Oct, then rose to +25.7 on 8 Oct as the price moved from $100.10 to $100.10. It’s at +25.8 now. Today’s +25.8 breaks down as +19.2 from volume and +6.6 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.
