Walmart has been grinding out a steady uptrend for months, and the daily chart is looking primed. We have a Squeeze firing, the SSL indicator is in bullish confluence, and the RSI is curving up while price remains flat. It’s a classic coiled spring. I’m looking to trade this continuation, but my entry depends on the March 4, 2026, 10:00 AM EST news flow. I need to see a constructive reaction and stable IV before I pull the trigger.
The Strategy
I'm deploying a PMCC to get high-delta exposure without the capital drag of owning 100 shares. I’m buying the 262-DTE $125 LEAP and selling the 30-DTE $135 call against it. Based on current quotes, the LEAP midpoint is around $15.55 and the short call is at $1.39, putting the net debit at approximately $1,416.
The Objective: Assignment at $135
The goal is to get called away. This isn't a play for an overextended breakout; I’m simply targeting a return to the previous high of $135. If WMT hits that level, I’ll accept assignment on the short and exercise the $125 LEAP to close the position.
That sequence locks in the $10 spread, which converts the position into a $1,000 realized profit. When you look at the math, you're looking at a $1,000 return on roughly $1,400 of collateral—all within a 30-day window. It’s a straightforward, high-yield way to extract a specific gain from a simple retest of the highs.
Risk Management
I’m keeping a tight leash on this. My exit trigger is based strictly on the short-leg premium: if the Long LEAP loses 50% to 75% of the premium collected from the short side—roughly a $70 to $100 drop in the LEAP's value—I’ll consider the trade dead and exit. I’ll use limit orders to manage the LEAP spread and ensure the fills make sense. If the news on March 4th is neutral-to-positive, the trade is live.
