Spot $284.30 highlighted. The $260 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 14,544). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score rise from +3 to +19 this week?
FlowDesk
It moved over several days. The composite was +29.6 on 5 Oct, then fell to +7.6 on 6 Oct as the price moved from $293.80 to $293.80. It’s at +18.9 now.+13.9 from volume and +5.0 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.
