Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 64 โ extended, ideal for selling calls
- IV -40% vs avg โ premiums below average, less income
- MACD bullish โ stock has upward momentum
- ADX at 21 โ moderate trend
- No squeeze โ no imminent breakout
- MFI at 75 โ money flow confirms overbought
Key Risks
WFC 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 WFC approaches the strike before expiry.
