Spot $135.59 highlighted. The $135 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 633). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score drop from +55 to −9 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +55.6 on 2 Oct, then fell to −32.3 on 3 Oct as the price moved from $126.30 to $125.26. It’s at −9.3 now.+0.8 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.
