Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 34 โ oversold, not ideal for selling calls
- IV -28% vs avg โ premiums below average, less income
- MACD bearish โ stock may keep falling (risk)
- ADX at 17 โ range-bound, perfect for selling calls

Key Risks
The main risk is missing upside if NTNX rallies sharply. The premium received ($X per share) provides a buffer, but gains above the strike are forfeited.
