“From a bullish perspective, you do see a consensus for it to be roughly around six by the end of this upcoming Friday.”
Thesis at the time
BearishThe video highlights that Lucid broke below its 50-day moving average amid heavy institutional selling and a broader market risk-off move tied to Middle East tensions and rising bond yields. The speaker notes no company-specific news or new analyst coverage despite the recent Gravity launch, and flags oversold RSI as a potential bounce catalyst if news emerges.
Key arguments
- Lucid dropped 7.23% on a day with no company-specific news, driven mainly by macro fear (Middle East tensions, rising bond yields, rate hike odds).
- Institutions have been net sellers on the secondary market for the past week and a half despite price sometimes holding up or going green.
- Shorts increased by 782,000 shares, now 31.9% of free float.
- Stock broke below the 50-day moving average, which historically has led to roughly 30% swings for Lucid.
- No new analyst ratings followed the Gravity launch, unlike prior product launches, suggesting possible pricing concerns.
- Stochastic RSI is very oversold, which could set up a bounce if positive news or partnerships emerge.
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- If Lucid announces partnership or news, oversold conditions could push the stock higher out of its current rut.
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Analysis focuses on technical levels and institutional flow data rather than fundamental company news
- Macro factors (geopolitical tensions, Fed rate expectations) are primary drivers rather than company-specific catalysts
- Low options volume noted, suggesting market uncertainty
- Analyst ratings have not updated since Gravity launch, creating uncertainty about demand
