Why This Strategy, Why Now
- RSI at 43
- IV -30% vs avg — premiums below average, less income
- MACD bullish — stock has upward momentum
- ADX at 26 — moderate trend
- No squeeze — no imminent breakout
Key Risks
WDC 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 WDC approaches the strike before expiry.
ADX at 26 indicates a moderately strong trend. In trending markets, covered calls cap your upside too early. Use a higher strike to leave more room.
