Why This Strategy, Why Now

  • RSI at 49
  • IV -22% vs avg โ€” premiums below average, less income
  • MACD bearish โ€” stock may keep falling (risk)
  • ADX at 26 โ€” moderate trend
  • No squeeze โ€” no imminent breakout

Key Risks

ADX at 26 indicates a moderately strong trend. In trending markets, covered calls cap your upside too early. Use a higher strike to leave more room.
