Spot $278.34 highlighted. The $295 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 7,331). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score rise from +32 to +61 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +32.3 on 30 Sep, then rose to +87.8 on 1 Oct as the price moved from $284.40 to $270.35. It’s at +61.1 now. Today’s +61.1 breaks down as +34.7 from volume and +26.4 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.
