Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 64 — extended, ideal for selling calls
- IV -29% vs avg — premiums below average, less income
- MACD bullish — stock has upward momentum
- ADX at 25 — moderate trend
- No squeeze — no imminent breakout
- MFI at 74 — money flow confirms overbought
Key Risks
LITE 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 LITE approaches the strike before expiry.
