Spot $104.85 highlighted. The $105 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 968). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score drop from +66 to +47 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +65.6 on 7 Oct, then fell to +46.9 on 8 Oct as the price moved from $105.15 to $105.08. It’s at +46.7 now.+26.3 from volume and +20.4 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.
