Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 55 — neutral-bullish
- IV -37% vs avg — premiums below average, less income
- MACD bearish — stock may keep falling (risk)
- ADX at 14 — range-bound, perfect for selling calls
- No squeeze — no imminent breakout
- MFI at 78 — money flow confirms overbought
Key Risks
The main risk is missing upside if MU rallies sharply. The premium received ($X per share) provides a buffer, but gains above the strike are forfeited.
