I think that recent $80 cap on strikes was the exception, many expiries have had the higher $145 strike.

This Friday is 3rd Friday of the month. Generally more options interest on those weeks. CBOE just expanded the chains for AMC like 3 days in a row a few months ago as price and interest climbed quickly.

The tops are based on volume and interest and best prediction of where price could be. The weekly chains are only built out a few months ahead. After that you only get the monthly and quarterly ones. So those are still higher at $145. As they fill in the other weeklies, and price has retraced, they apparently decided not to build the new chains that high, yet.
