Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 53 — neutral-bullish
- IV -14% vs avg — premiums near average, acceptable
- MACD bearish — stock may keep falling (risk)
- ADX at 22 — moderate trend
- No squeeze — no imminent breakout
Key Risks
The main risk is missing upside if IDCC rallies sharply. The premium received ($X per share) provides a buffer, but gains above the strike are forfeited.
