Spot $209.88 highlighted. The $210 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 2,082). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score rise from −2 to +9 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was −0.6 on 3 Oct, then rose to +22.9 on 4 Oct as the price moved from $203.94 to $203.94. It’s at +8.9 now. Today’s +8.9 breaks down as +1.6 from volume and +7.3 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.
