Spot $96.53 highlighted. The $105 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 12,814). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score rise from −48 to +3 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was −48.2 on 1 Oct, then rose to −7.1 on 2 Oct as the price moved from $97.74 to $98.77. It’s at +2.5 now. Today’s +2.5 breaks down as +1.3 from volume and +1.2 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.
