Generating Income from NVDA Consolidation

Updated
Description
NVDA has seen consistent gains following the upside break of its descending intermediate trendline on 17JAN. Now it seems to have settled into a consolidation pattern (Ascending Triangle) following the event-related runaway gap up through an ATH on 25May. Ascending triangles represent a healthy demand for a stock with a planned distribution at a particular price, which appears to be 480, and now we are now seeing the second rejection of the upper boundary of the pattern @482.

At the same time, DIA, SPY and IXIC have all seen retests and rejections of their 50D EMAs today. In general, I expect the continued fall in the indexes to keep NVDA in consolidation, despite consistent earnings outperformance.

Technical Indicators to signal the entry:
Ascending Wedge upper boundary second rejection.

Technical Risk Factors:
MACD 12 over 26 bullish cross

The expected price is <482 until breakout of the pattern.

I will be using short dated call credit spreads to:
Limit upside risk while maintaining a neutral position
take advantage of skewed earnings IV

Bit of late update, but my 8/25's expired full credit. I am revising my chart picture into a channel.
