Spot $32.25 highlighted. The $34 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 14,981). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score drop from +49 to +18 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +48.5 on 2 Oct, then fell to +3.8 on 3 Oct as the price moved from $30.53 to $31.07. It’s at +18.2 now. Today’s +18.2 breaks down as −3.1 from volume and +21.3 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.
