Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 45
- IV -25% vs avg — premiums below average, less income
- MACD bearish — stock may keep falling (risk)
- ADX at 34 — strong trend, stock may run past strike
- No squeeze — no imminent breakout
Key Risks
ADX at 34 indicates a moderately strong trend. In trending markets, covered calls cap your upside too early. Use a higher strike to leave more room.
