Narratives
LCIDLucid Motors
BearishLucid is the notable laggard on an otherwise strong market day (Powell's Jackson Hole speech confirmed rate cuts). Short interest at 33.17% (416M shares) is near the all-time high of 33.5% and shorts increased 2.47M shares today despite positive macro news. Bears are pricing in sub-$2 through at least October, then sub-$1.50. The speaker's prior buy range of $1.80–$1.90 was briefly touched overnight but he did not buy, viewing it as insufficient without institutional buying.
