Why This Strategy, Why Now

- MACD bullish — stock has upward momentum
- ADX at 17 — range-bound, perfect for selling calls
- No squeeze — no imminent breakout
Key Risks
DLB 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 DLB approaches the strike before expiry.
