Why This Strategy, Why Now

- ADX at 15 — range-bound, perfect for selling calls
- No squeeze — no imminent breakout
Key Risks
PLTR 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 PLTR approaches the strike before expiry.
