Why This Strategy, Why Now

  • RSI at 36 โ€” oversold, not ideal for selling calls
  • IV -44% vs avg โ€” premiums below average, less income
  • MACD bearish โ€” stock may keep falling (risk)
  • ADX at 16 โ€” range-bound, perfect for selling calls
  • No squeeze โ€” no imminent breakout

Key Risks

The main risk is missing upside if ZETA rallies sharply. The premium received ($X per share) provides a buffer, but gains above the strike are forfeited.
