Why This Strategy, Why Now

- 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.
