Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 51 — neutral-bullish
- IV -100% vs avg — premiums below average, less income
- MACD bullish — stock has upward momentum
- ADX at 29 — moderate trend
- TTM Squeeze ON — breakout imminent, risky for capped strategies
- MFI at 71 — money flow confirms overbought
Key Risks
V 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 V approaches the strike before expiry.
ADX at 29 indicates a moderately strong trend. In trending markets, covered calls cap your upside too early. Use a higher strike to leave more room.
TTM Squeeze is ON — a volatility breakout may be imminent. If the breakout is to the upside, your short call will be tested quickly.
