Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 58 — neutral-bullish
- IV -64% vs avg — premiums below average, less income
- MACD bullish — stock has upward momentum
- ADX at 27 — moderate trend
- No squeeze — no imminent breakout
Key Risks
CMCSA 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 CMCSA approaches the strike before expiry.
ADX at 27 indicates a moderately strong trend. In trending markets, covered calls cap your upside too early. Use a higher strike to leave more room.
