Trump's recent tariffs on Europe could potentially cause significant shocks to the US stock market. From a technical and market sentiment perspective, US stocks are expected to enter a short-term correction zone next week.

In this environment, long positions in hand finally have a chance to catch a breath. Instead of stubbornly holding onto positions, it’s more advantageous to switch flexibly to options strategies—selling Call premiums to short the market is currently the most cost-effective approach. Compared to directly buying Puts, which seems simple, but if the market reverses, losses could be wiped out instantly, making the risk level too high.

The advantage of selling Calls is that it allows for continuous optimization: the strike price doesn’t have to remain fixed and can be gradually increased based on market trends, locking in profits while maintaining flexibility. Of course, this strategy relies on strict position management. Without controlling the scale, any tactic can easily backfire.
