Spot $305.80 highlighted. The $310 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 3,915). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score drop from +43 to +14 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +38.7 on 8 Oct, then fell to +14.5 on 9 Oct as the price moved from $304.25 to $303.99. It’s at +14.5 now.+16.6 from volume and −2.2 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.
