Spot $26.13 highlighted. The $25 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 27,992). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

One rule everywhere: a move of 0.05% or less is flat, and flat is not a hit. That is the same rule Proof uses; 347 of these 694 calls were flat.

Ask about CCL
Why did the score drop from +43 to +28 this week?
It was mostly one day. The composite was +49.5 on 7 Oct, then fell to +27.7 on 8 Oct as the price moved from $25.76 to $26.36. It’s at +27.8 now.

Today’s +27.8 breaks down as +19.3 from volume and +8.6 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.
