Where the positions sit No per-strike chain is stored for this name yet, so we can’t show where the positions sit. The totals above still come from today’s chain.
Spot $87.97. The $85 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 4,651). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

What is behind today’s +2.2?
FlowDesk
The composite has held within 0.5 points of +2.2 across the last 8 sessions.+7.1 from volume and −4.9 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.
