Where the positions sit No per-strike chain is stored for this name yet, so we can’t show where the positions sit. The totals above still come from today’s chain.
Spot $21.22. The $25 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 9,588). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score drop from +9 to +0 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +8.7 on 1 Oct, then fell to −0.3 on 2 Oct as the price moved from $21.65 to $21.55. It’s at −0.3 now. Today’s −0.3 breaks down as −14.8 from volume and +14.5 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.
