Spot $112.82 highlighted. The $115 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 16,775). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score drop from +33 to +13 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +33.0 on 5 Oct, then fell to +13.0 on 6 Oct as the price moved from $112.20 to $112.82. It’s at +13.0 now. Today’s +13.0 breaks down as +8.4 from volume and +4.6 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.
