The premium math is where this gets interesting: IV is rich at 100%, pricing in more movement than the 57% realized vol we just saw. That's a 31% cushion, which pays us to take the risk. The chart is the problem — down 8…

Structure-wise, the 8% flush-out is tempting, but the chart shows a clear break below the 20-day moving average with no support until the $52-$53 zone from May's consolidation. IV at 84% is rich, pricing in a $6.50 expec…

25. It's a defined-risk bet that the selloff finds footing before mid-August. Verdict: A decent, not great, volatility-harvesting play.
