Where the positions sit calls traded strike puts traded
Spot $33.15 highlighted. The $25 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 110). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score drop from +35 to −24 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +31.0 on 8 Oct, then fell to −23.5 on 9 Oct as the price moved from $32.72 to $33.09. It’s at −23.5 now.+14.5 from volume and −38.0 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.
