Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 45
- IV -18% vs avg — premiums below average, less income
- MACD bullish — stock has upward momentum
- ADX at 12 — range-bound, perfect for selling calls
- TTM Squeeze ON — breakout imminent, risky for capped strategies
Key Risks
ARM 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 ARM approaches the strike before expiry.
TTM Squeeze is ON — a volatility breakout may be imminent. If the breakout is to the upside, your short call will be tested quickly.
