Spot $45.47 highlighted. The $45 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 8,346). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score rise from +8 to +25 this week?
FlowDesk
It moved over several days. The composite was +16.2 on 7 Oct, then rose to +24.5 on 8 Oct as the price moved from $43.68 to $43.68. It’s at +24.6 now.+12.0 from volume and +12.6 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.
