Lucid Shorts Trying to Keep LCID Below the 50MA | A Bullish Signal for Lucid Stock! ⚠️
Overall SentimentBullishStrength: 60%
Overall Thesis
Shorts doubling down from 271M to 350M shares between late March and mid-April — precisely when Lucid kept testing the 50-day MA — signals they fear an imminent breakout, and the launch of a 2x leveraged long ETF further validates bullish momentum.
Narratives
LCIDLucid Motors
BullishSpeaker highlights that shorts added roughly 75-80M shares via dark pool between March 31 and April 15 specifically to prevent Lucid from closing above the 50-day MA, which the speaker views as a sign of fear rather than fundamental weakness. A new 2x leveraged long ETF (LCDL) for Lucid was launched, which is characterized as a positive signal of growing market interest. Options consensus points to ~$3 this week and ~$4 around the May 6 earnings.
Key Arguments
- Shorts increased ~75-80M shares via dark pool during March 31 – April 15, suppressing Lucid artificially
- Lucid successfully closed above 50-day MA, typically signaling 30-40% upside run historically
- Launch of Granite Shares 2x long Lucid ETF shows increasing institutional/retail interest
- Speaker notes no 2x leveraged-long ETF stock has ever gone bankrupt, implicitly countering bankruptcy risk argument
- Options consensus around ~$3 this week and ~$4 around earnings (May 9)
