Spot $87.93 highlighted. The $80 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 3,237). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score rise from −1 to +21 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was −1.3 on 2 Oct, then rose to +43.6 on 3 Oct as the price moved from $90.23 to $91.17. It’s at +21.1 now.+8.3 from volume and +12.8 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.
