Spot $200.23 highlighted. The $190 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 2,951). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score drop from +37 to +20 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +37.1 on 1 Oct, then fell to +21.7 on 2 Oct as the price moved from $190.58 to $188.18. It’s at +19.6 now. Today’s +19.6 breaks down as +21.2 from volume and −1.6 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.
