Spot $378.62 highlighted. The $350 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 10,918). 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; 259 of these 994 calls were flat.

Ask about GLD
What is behind today’s +25.2?
The composite has held within 1.2 points of +25.2 across the last 8 sessions.

Today’s +25.2 breaks down as +19.7 from volume and +5.5 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.
