The January 6 Bear Call Spread on Micron Technology Inc (MU) expired fully out of the money as price failed to extend into the upper resistance zone by week’s end. After a sharp upside push earlier in the week, momentum cooled and transitioned into digestion, leaving the short strike untouched into Friday’s expiration.

Despite remaining in a broader uptrend, MU did not deliver the additional upside acceleration required to challenge the 370 level. Daily RSI stayed elevated, but range expansion stalled — a favorable environment for short-dated call premium selling.

Both call options expired worthless, resulting in a full-premium capture without any need for active management.
