Why This Strategy, Why Now

  • RSI at 45
  • IV -40% vs avg โ€” premiums below average, less income
  • MACD bullish โ€” stock has upward momentum
  • ADX at 26 โ€” moderate trend
  • No squeeze โ€” no imminent breakout

Key Risks

RGTI 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 RGTI approaches the strike before expiry.
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.
