The selloff looks dramatic until you zoom out and see this stock is still up 65% in two months, trading at a nosebleed 90% IV. That's not a dip; that's a volatile rocket ship cooling its engines. The chart shows no reversal signal, which means this -8.
5% move could just be a pause before the next leg up or the start of a deeper mean reversion—there's no technical floor to lean on here. The quant in me sees that high IV and gets tempted by premium, but the risk-first skeptic screams that selling a put on a name that just ripped and is now pulling back is a classic 'catching a falling knife' scenario, especially with a Safety score of just 5/9. Structurally, to get a decent credit-to-width ratio, you'd have to sell a put uncomfortably close to this whippy price action.
For a $847 stock, a 5% OTM sell strike around $805 might only net you a $15-wide spread for maybe $3 in credit. That's a 20% risk-to-reward (credit/width = 0. 20), which fails our 0.
25 floor. To hit that floor, you'd need to sell closer to the money, which dramatically increases your probability of assignment on a stock that's proven it can move 8% in a day. The patient teacher says: when the math doesn't work and the chart gives you no clear level, you step aside.
Better opportunities exist where volatility is high but the trend isn't so extended.
