BearishPut options signal consensus for sub-$2.50, and the speaker warns that market makers and shorts have a financial interest in keeping Lucid below $3 on Fridays around expiry. Despite global EV sales being mixed (China +23%, Europe -5%, US -3.8%), Lucid is gaining market share. The speaker notes that if Lucid closes below its 50-day moving average on two consecutive days, $2.50 becomes the next key target. Rate cuts remain the next major catalyst with 52.5% probability of 50bps in September.
