Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 65 โ extended, ideal for selling calls
- IV -45% vs avg โ premiums below average, less income
- MACD bullish โ stock has upward momentum
- ADX at 17 โ range-bound, perfect for selling calls
- No squeeze โ no imminent breakout
Key Risks
ON 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 ON approaches the strike before expiry.
