$RIDE - Hopeful breakoutNothing much to say this time. You've read all the stuff i wrote in the past, this is just a post to remind people about my random lines indicating a possible breakout on this very weak (not for long) stock.
If the lines i have above are at least somewhat accurate, we might be on the cusp of a breakout. It needs a bit of time to confirm itself as a real breakout or a failed one. But it's kinda starting, so keep your eyes open.
Lordstown
$RIDE - The wedge continuesHi all,
Nothing's changed with Lordstown's position. This post relates not to Lordstown's financials or fundamentals but to chart technicals.
In my own data that i follow for all stocks, Lordstown seems to be nothing special and has absolutely nothing going for it. In terms of charting, Lordstown is in a huge bull wedge (which doesn't make sense, i know, but there it is...).
The wedge continues. A couple of the previous candle wicks from the last 15 days have extended the wedge's range slightly to a new possible low of $1.6. That or the wedge is about to be broken out of for reasons i'm not sure of.
Suddenly all other companies e.g NKLA are considering a reverse split to get them out of a similar position like Lordstown had. Funnilly NKLA is an actual scam with it's president Milton being convicted of fraud and all that, meanwhile our boi Hightower with his wheel motor hubs isn't doing terribly in terms of the hardware/tech and actually has something that doesn't need to be pushed to make it roll on a road like NKLA did.
Excessive bearishness on Reddit boards and such are making me bullish on this stock. I'd like to think there's a possibility that RIDE will make it out of the hole. If it does, all these bears are going to have their accounts blasted.
I re-iterate that i think that for surprising reasons, this wedge will break out eventually. My investment horizon on RIDE is long term and not meant to be a short term trade. The wheel hub technology in my opinion could actually be very big as long as Ride can make it out of it's hole.
The market is moving upwards with no regard to any of the doom and gloom being blasted to us by the financial media. During this time, RIDE has underperformed or as it should be said... shorted. This is a good way to do things if you're a short seller because if the market is eventually bound to correct hard, when it does, market makers and others will take care of shorting all stocks including RIDE for you and the resulting dump will be pretty damn big.
Not only would you have managed to make a stock go down (and against the market) but when the market actually dumps and all stocks have to follow, it'll move down with the market for free.
The problem arises when the market isn't giving you your all so awaited correction within a certain timeframe. If this happens, the short becomes more expensive to fund. Since RIDE has already been long time favorite short since 2021, i believe that at any time now, any kind of surprise by Lordstown itself can catch plenty of the institutional bears by surprise, but really not as much as the retail bears who have gotten cushy with short selling on Lordstown.
If and in my opinion, WHEN Hightower is done with the current Foxconn "situation", some shorts could get blasted out of the water. Persistence/conviction shorting into RIDE's good news will be obvious what everyone will be doing for another 1-2 years after that because shorts just like longs want to avoid the reality of things. Then those shorts will get blasted out of the water taking us higher, the cycle would continue.
Again, this all will happen only and only if Hightower & Foxconn happens. Foxconn isn't in a great (but not terrible) place either with Revenues down 11% Y.O.Y due to their TV/Computer screen section. In my opinion diversifying into EV regardless of this issue with revenue would be a good idea just to diversify risk with what exactly happened with Foxconn & Sharp. Hopefully Foxconn's management sees exactly that and will know what to do about it.
My position as usual is 1000 x $0.5 calls bought and 1000 x $0.5p sold for 2025 pre-split. Hoping to add more as the price touches sub $2 due to the insistent bears conviction shorting this stock on the status quo. The status quo in my opinion has made everyone too cushy, if it changes as these things sometimes do, that'll be a nice sight.
$RIDE - 1:15 SplitNothing much to say here.
The situation with RIDE is the same as before. Foxconn decided to break their contract and not buy NASDAQ:RIDE at the price of $1.70 as previously agreed since the price of the stock had declined to $0.30. It seems the cost of business of just breaking contract was better for them than to actually go ahead and buy NASDAQ:RIDE shares for said price.
Lordstown / NASDAQ:RIDE had to finally implement a reverse split in order to bring their stock price back into compliance with Nasdaq's rules where a stock cannot be below the value of $1.00 for an extended amount of time. By reverse splitting, the price of the stock should go somewhere around $3.80.
OCC Memo:
-Lordstown Motors Corporation (RIDE) has announced a 1-for-15 reverse stock split. As a result of the reverse stock split, each RIDE Class A Common Share will be converted into the right to receive approximately 0.066667 (New) Lordstown Motors Corporation Class A Common Shares. The reverse stock split will become effective before the market open on May 24, 2023. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares.
New Cusip: 54405Q209
Deliverables for Call/Put writers:
-The RIDE component of the RIDE1 deliverable will settle through National Securities Clearing Corporation(NSCC). OCC will delay settlement of the cash portion of the RIDE1 deliverable until the cash in lieu of fractional RIDE Shares is determined. Upon determination of the cash in lieu amount, OCC will require Put exercisers and Call assignees to deliver the appropriate cash amount.
TLDR if you wrote calls or puts, you're gonna have to have some cash in your account to deliver upon your new liabilities. I sold 1000 puts so i have something to pay here.
Technicals:
-The big wedge is coming to an end. Let's see what happens.
Fundamentals:
-Product is great, financials & backing are not great.
My opinion:
-The company is in a difficult place and has a higher chance of not making it than actually making it which is why the risk payoff on a possible reversal on this is extremely high. The risk of loss of your investment is also very high.
My positions:
-1000 calls, 1000 puts at the $0.50 strike with plans to sell that much more post split in the new chain.
What you should do:
-Probably nothing. The EV sector is a difficult place to invest in right now. You do you.
$RIDE - TA Bullish Wedge, future grim.Lordstown motors is what might be the end of the bullish wedge. There may be a month or two left in it before anything really happens.
My research on RIDE is not deep, not great, not bad either.
--Fundamentals--
RIDE's hub motors are the main drive (pun) here. Foxconn showed some interest initially and did the deal with them but is not showing up to be a daddy figure when RIDE is struggling with it's delisting notice.
They are relying on anyone interested in the company to basically fund them and that's not really happening. Rivian and other new EV companies need RIDE to go under because what RIDE is offering as a product is actually good. That doesn't change the fact that their stock isn't doing good and is likely not to do good in the future...
RIDE has asked for votes FOR or AGAINST a reverse split to bring it's price back up to a level where it's compliant with Nasdaq's rules. People on social media are "saying" that they are voting against a reverse split which doesn't make much sense if you're a shareholder which makes me think that getting sentiment from social media may not be correct so i'm not gonna rely on social media sentiment from random comments that don't make sense.
--Stock/Options etc--
Nothing special going on other than some strange much larger than usual volumes on the 0.5 Call and Puts. As of today the 0.5c had over 1000 calls in volume which is extremely big for this stock and hasn't really happened in over a year. This is either positive or negative delta for the stock, we'll see... based on the direction of the rest of the market, i think this is someone banking on the stock dropping more.
-Technical Analysis--
Nothing much for me to say here other than that this may be the end of the bullish wedge... a breakout from here for unknown reasons would be spectacular. If a pop happens here, (don't know why that would happen), i doubt short sellers will have any trouble eventually suppressing it and causing the price to drop even lower than before.
If a breakout here is fundamentals based (acquisition/merger/buyout... something) then RIDE would suddenly become a huge long play.
Don't forget they are at risk of delisting and there's basically better stocks out there with less risk. I have a small bet of MYX:HUMEIND on shares at around the $5.1 area give or take a few pennies in case this wedge truly does play out. If it fails and i lose my money i won't be too unhappy because i understand the risk.
That's all. Good luck. Hoping this really battered and fundamentally bad but sorta good but sorta not very ok stock might do something based on Technical analysis and options flow. Rivian has earnings very soon and is likely to cause RIDE to drop even more due to being same sector stocks. A drop in Rivian will cause RIDE to also drop so it's maybe prudent to wait for that.
Lastly, again, that 1000 contract buy at 0.5c was a bit surprising. I hasn't happened in literally years... this is 1 full buy of 1000 contracts. It's not a lot of notional in money, like $30k, so it might be just someone in retail. Who knows.
Play safe (or don't, that's up to you)
RIDE is on the HIGH ROADNASDAQ:RIDE
RIDE , an EV stock has a catalyst in the new federal legistlation.
It has been rising in an ascending channel since early July when it reversed
a downtrend with a double bottom
Here on the 4H chart are supply demand zones, the volume indicator and an
EMA ribbon surrounded by Bollinger Bands.
Blue volume spikes with the recent excellent earnings report
and then the federal legislation have given RIDE buoyancy.
Presently, it is sitting in the lower portion of the ascending channel
and the middle of wide Bollinger Bands.
I see RIDE as an excellent swing trade setup with a stop loss
under the support zone and a target above the resistance zone
near to the high price on the chart set on earnings which also
corresponds to a high volume node on the volume profile.

Ride should get past ATH's - Lordstown MotorsReally believe these smaller EV plays are like buying tech after the tech bubble. Doesn't seem like it now but long as they survive is the big question. Worth a shot to me at the absolute lows while it's curving. This looks like accumulation area to me, it could accumulate for a year but I think you will love the returns, buy when nobody else wants to!
RIDE at All Time LowYou like to buy the all time low?
Lordstown Motors Corp. (RIDE) lost 90% of its value from all the 52 week high.
52 Week Range 3.27 - 31.56
% OF FLOAT SHORTED: 19.47%
As a speculative buy, my price target is the $6.8 resistance.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
Major Reversal for Lordstown?Big things could be in store for RIDE after a brutal yet easily foreseen correction in price for the larger part of the year so far.
This asset has been a bucking bronco and now looks to be whipsawing inside of an ascending channel on the weekly and daily timeframes. There appears to be support just below $10 at the moment and should this level hold on the weekly, a spike to the .236 fib level could be in store at $12.64 - a whopping 37% move to the upside. That will be the first level to take profit. The top of the ascending channel would be the ultimate target which currently stands at roughly 70% to the upside from the current price as of writing this.
The opening of this short week on Tuesday will be telling as this is an asset that moves very quickly.
Take note of the RSI on the weekly as it is at a low risk area with plenty of room to run to the upside if it so chooses to. The same can be said of the daily RSI as well.
Lastly, a breaking of the green support line with a confirmed close on the weekly would suggest a return to the $6.72 low - 27% drop from where we currently stand.
This trade will require one's active and preferably professional attention due to the volatile nature of this asset's price action.
WTF IS GOING ON WITH RIDE? PARADIGM SHIFT IN TRADING PSYCHOLOGY?Are we in the middle of a paradigm shift in the entire market? With everyone having access to investing, not everyone knows what to do. So they put money that sounds good or someone told them is good.
We need to keep watching RIDE and take a seat, it's gonna be a bumpy one.

RIde- Lordstown Motors first stop $35LOVE this chart, I went in pretty hard on RIDE, this beauty should start to climb. Love it as a longterm grab too, the trucks look sick, motor in the wheels pretty unique and and the EV space should blow up.

Lordstown Motors May Give Great Buying Opportunity ShortlyThis is an important time for Lordstown Motors' stock price. Lordstown Motors has been in a defined downtrend since November 24th. On December 8th they released a video showing CEO, Steve Burns, put the "skateboard" chassis to the test. I'm wondering how much that video slowed down the stocks slide. As the very next day on December 9th the stock was almost flat closing down just -0.88%.
They are at a critical price point of $19.20. If the stock continues trending down and breaks this below $19.20 could see the stock fall further to its strongest support level of $16.38.
If the stock does keep falling this will present an interesting buying opportunity. As seen on the chart, with the two black circles, shows Lordstown Motors' incredible support. If the stock dips below $19.20 and comes close to $16.38 then we'll have a chance to add to our position at a great long-term price.
Lordstown Motors says they want to be first to market with their Endurance pickup truck with a revolutionary all-electric In-Wheel Drive System that utilizes four hub motors with integrated software—giving customers a motor and a mind in each wheel.
DPHC (RIDE) Stuck in a Consolidation???Risk-heavy margin traders(margin to beat settlement at the very least) will enter at the first cross of the 10 & 20 EMAs, and in this case, be rewarded.
Traders looking for confirmation will wait for the price to retest the cloud/gap between the EMAs before considering an entry, and in this case, miss some intra-week gains.
Overall, the drawn-out/predicted consolidation should be taken with a grain of salt, as far as general timing and the number of bounces is considered. However, the resistance and support lines are more likely to be respected.
Either way you slice it, when RIDE emerges we will likely look back and see a break to the upside on this chart.

DPHC (RIDE) SHORT TERM BEAR - LONG TERM BULLwe might get a chance to buy under $18, assuming a catalyst doesn't form to propel the price higher.
$DPHC $RIDE Consolidation until merger news $WKHSOn days like today, you have to zoom out and take in the bigger picture. As long as the support levels continue to hold, and PA follow the yellow algo trend line, this is still a bullish chart. If they break down, so be it move on to next SPAC, but it’s hard to stay bear when you know there is fundamental news coming, and the existing fundamentals support a higher price. Looks like there could be nice confluence between our next break out point, and the merger.
