Spot $286.88 highlighted. The $310 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 624). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score drop from +12 to +2 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +11.6 on 7 Oct, then fell to +2.4 on 8 Oct as the price moved from $285.79 to $281.99. It’s at +1.6 now.+7.4 from volume and −5.7 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.
