Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 30 โ oversold, not ideal for selling calls
- IV -27% vs avg โ premiums below average, less income
- MACD bearish โ stock may keep falling (risk)
- ADX at 16 โ range-bound, perfect for selling calls
- No squeeze โ no imminent breakout
Key Risks
The main risk is missing upside if CRM rallies sharply. The premium received ($X per share) provides a buffer, but gains above the strike are forfeited.
