Spot $94.13 highlighted. The $90 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 13,603). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score drop from +13 to −5 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was +13.2 on 7 Oct, then fell to −5.2 on 8 Oct as the price moved from $93.11 to $93.11. It’s at −4.8 now. Today’s −4.8 breaks down as −4.7 from volume and +0.0 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.
