Today's pick · Highly Shorted Short-Term Bounce 🧪Deep RotationLCIDBUY NOW7.4 / 108/10/2026

LCID is the cleanest 'highly-shorted-bounce' setup on the board right now. The daily tape is screaming: fc_short +43.1%, fc_mid +87.96%, fc_long +106.83%, with a bullish_prob of 1 and near_term_bullish of 0.4. Critically, price is NOT extended — 1d pos_in_21bar_range is only 68.29%, 4h is 30.92%, and 1wk is a rebuilding 39.11% after a -25.42% 21-bar drop. That combination of deep drawdown (-13.67% from 1d high, -29.62% from 1wk high) plus forward forecasts pointing sharply higher is exactly the deep-rotation profile this lens is designed to catch. The short-squeeze fuel is real and unmatched here: shortFloat 42.25% — highest in the pool. The bearish news catalyst (the $1.4B 'operational reset' and midsize EV push to 2027) already hit Aug 6–7 and stock is stabilizing above $7 rather than making new lows, meaning the bad news is out and the reaction is fading. Meanwhile, MNDY reports earnings TODAY (Aug 10) — that is a binary coin-flip, not a buy setup — and every other name in the pool either has negative multi-timeframe forecasts (PATH, FA, JBLU), is pinned at 95%+ range (PATH 98.56, FA 100, ASAN 95.54), or has soft forecasts (CHH, DUOL). Fundamentals are admittedly ugly (opMargin -258.99%, profitMargin -297.64%, fundamental_score -1.5), but the screen already accepted that — the thesis is a shorted-name bounce, not a quality compounding trade. SalesYoY of +66.54% and epsNextY of +46.49% show the story hasn't broken; it just got repriced. With institutional ownership only 16.78% and 42% short float, any positive tape confirmation triggers forced covering. Entry today makes sense because the daily forecast horizon is coiling from a base with room to expand, and 4h fc_short is only -0.94% — meaning near-term downside is limited while mid/long forecasts are +25% to +107%. Waiting risks missing the initial squeeze leg; sizing appropriately (this is a speculative bounce, not a core position) is the right way to take it.

LCID forecast chart
Entry zone
$6.85–$7.05 (current $7.01, buy the current level and add on any dip to $6.85 which is near 4h support)
Stop loss
$6.35 (below the 4h drawdown floor; roughly -9.4% from entry)
First target
$8.20 (1d fc_short +43% area, ~+17% from entry, initial squeeze cover zone)
Longer target
$10.50–$13.00 (aligns with 1d fc_mid/long +88% to +107%; scale out in tranches)
Risks
  • Fundamentals are broken: operMargin -258.99%, profitMargin -297.64%, roe -125.99% — LCID is cash-burning and dependent on capital raises; further dilution is a live risk
  • The Aug 6–7 'operational reset' and delay of midsize EV to 2027 could produce follow-on downgrades; targetUpsidePct is only +2.6% and recom is 3.08 (Hold), meaning sell-side is not backing this
  • 1wk recent_21bar_pct is -25.42% and dd_from_21bar_high is -29.62% — the weekly trend is still broken; if the bounce fails, next leg down could be sharp
  • 1h fc_long -12.36% and 4h fc_mid -2.12% show near-term tape is not uniformly bullish; the strong signal is really a 1d/4h-long-horizon call
  • Short float 42.25% cuts both ways — if a squeeze fails to develop, shorts press again and the stock can revisit lows near $5.50
Honorable mentions
ASANbullish_prob 1, 1d fc_mid +9.32% / fc_long +25.95%, shortFloat 39.51% offers squeeze fuel — but pos_in_21bar_range is 95.54% on 1d, so it's chasing; better on a pullback to $8.60
DUOLBest fundamentals in the pool (PE 15.7, roe 34.42, profitMargin 35.87, salesYoY 29.36) with 1wk fc_long +19.74% and mid-range position (1d 51.6%), but near-term forecasts are muted and targetUpside is -9.8%
