Where the positions sit calls traded strike puts traded
Spot $41.96 highlighted. The $45 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 9,774). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score drop from +72 to −21 this week?
FlowDesk
It moved over several days. The composite was +70.2 on 2 Oct, then fell to +16.6 on 3 Oct as the price moved from $40.13 to $40.32. It’s at −21.4 now.−31.3 from volume and +10.0 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.
