Overall Thesis
Lucid options are signaling a move to $3.50+ with 81% bullish flow and a large institutional options buy targeting $2.50 calls for August, even as shorts continue manipulative pressure with negative cost-to-borrow.
Narratives
LCIDLucid MotorsThe speaker notes that 81% of all options by premium are bullish today, with a large multi-leg transaction from a single entity buying $2.50 calls expiring August 15, 2025. The broader market rallied on news that April 2 tariffs would be targeted rather than blanket, but Lucid lagged peers because shorts increased 2.24M shares with negative cost-to-borrow. Call options consensus points to $3.50+ for this week. The speaker views the Caner Fitzgerald neutral $3 rating as potentially suppressive given the setup.
Key Arguments
- 81% of options premiums are bullish — particularly large multi-leg transaction buying $2.50 August 2025 calls
- Options consensus shows price targets clustering above $3.50 for the near term
- Targeted tariff approach (vs blanket) triggered a broad market rally; Lucid lagged only due to short manipulation
- Negative cost-to-borrow confirms ongoing short manipulation — brokers paying people to short LCID
Risks acknowledged
- Lucid underperformed Rivian (+4.83%) and Tesla (+9.45%) on the day despite the broad rally
