Narratives
LCIDLucid Motors
BullishLucid is up 5% on the day and ~10.37% for the week. The most notable signal is shorts returning 2.06M shares on a Friday — the speaker says this historically precedes news dropping within a few trading days. He references Adam Jonas's $10 bull case tied to a partnership as the last example. With 31,000 open interest at $250, a close above that level would trigger a gamma squeeze. Despite negative cost-to-borrow still present, the setup going into the launch event looks constructive.
Key Arguments
- Shorts returning 2.06M shares on Friday is unusual and historically precedes positive news from Lucid within days
- 31,000 open interest at $250 — a close above triggers market maker cover of ~3.1M shares
- Adam Jonas's $10 bull case tied to partnerships is framed as context for why shorts returning may signal something coming
- Week closed up 10.37% — momentum building ahead of March 27 event
