Spot $89.20 highlighted. The $90 strike holds the most open interest (the “wall”, 915). Near-dated expiry in the mix, so OI is noisier.

Why did the score rise from −22 to +50 this week?
FlowDesk
It was mostly one day. The composite was −22.2 on 7 Oct, then rose to +49.7 on 8 Oct as the price moved from $91.69 to $88.49. It’s at +49.5 now. Today’s +49.5 breaks down as +42.1 from volume and +7.4 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.
