Why This Strategy, Why Now

  • RSI at 29 โ€” oversold, not ideal for selling calls
  • IV -24% vs avg โ€” premiums below average, less income
  • MACD bullish โ€” stock has upward momentum
  • ADX at 36 โ€” strong trend, stock may run past strike
  • No squeeze โ€” no imminent breakout

Key Risks

FICO 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 FICO approaches the strike before expiry.
ADX at 36 indicates a moderately strong trend. In trending markets, covered calls cap your upside too early. Use a higher strike to leave more room.
