Why This Strategy, Why Now

  • RSI at 42
  • IV -56% vs avg โ€” premiums below average, less income
  • MACD bullish โ€” stock has upward momentum
  • ADX at 24 โ€” moderate trend
  • No squeeze โ€” no imminent breakout

Key Risks

AI has bullish momentum (MACD). If a positive catalyst emerges (earnings beat, product launch), the stock could gap past your strike. Consider rolling the call up if AI approaches the strike before expiry.
