Spot $217.46 highlighted. The $215 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 2,866). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score rise from −31 to −10 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was −28.5 on 3 Oct, then rose to −10.1 on 4 Oct as the price moved from $214.06 to $214.06. It’s at −9.7 now. Today’s −9.7 breaks down as −12.6 from volume and +2.9 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.
