Where the positions sit No per-strike chain is stored for this name yet, so we can’t show where the positions sit. The totals above still come from today’s chain.
Spot $84.00. The $85 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 4,001). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score rise from −13 to +38 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was −13.1 on 1 Oct, then rose to +38.2 on 2 Oct as the price moved from $82.89 to $83.47. It’s at +38.2 now.+27.0 from volume and +11.2 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.
