Hedge Funds Loading Up on Lucid ๐ฅ Market Makers Open NEW CHAINS โ Lucid Stock Analysis
Overall Thesis
Market makers opening new option chains up to $38 and weekly chains to $30 signal institutional expectation that LCID can reach those levels; hedge fund accumulation on the darkpool adds credibility to the five-consecutive-green-day streak.
Narratives
Market makers have opened new LCID option chains up to $38 strike prices and extended weekly chains from $25.50 to $30, which the analyst interprets as market maker confidence that these levels are achievable. Lucid is up 10.56% over 5 days during a period with no major news releases, suggesting structural buying by hedge funds through the darkpool. The Morgan Stanley Laguna conference tomorrow (with Marc Winterhof) is a potential catalyst. The stock is near overbought territory on the stochastic RSI, but the analyst views the five consecutive green days as historically remarkable.
Key Arguments
- Market makers opened option chains to $38 and weekly chains to $30 โ implies they see those levels possible
- Five consecutive green days โ historically rare for LCID
- Hedge fund buying detectable on darkpool (outflow > inflow while stock is green)
- 10.56% gain over 5 days on pure technicals with no news
- Tomorrow's Morgan Stanley Laguna conference with Marc Winterhof is potential catalyst
