Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 55 โ neutral-bullish
- IV -23% vs avg โ premiums below average, less income
- MACD bullish โ stock has upward momentum
- ADX at 23 โ moderate trend
- TTM Squeeze ON โ breakout imminent, risky for capped strategies
Key Risks
COLD 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 COLD approaches the strike before expiry.
TTM Squeeze is ON โ a volatility breakout may be imminent. If the breakout is to the upside, your short call will be tested quickly.
