LAZR Luminar Technologies Options Ahead of EarningsAnalyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of LAZR Luminar Technologies prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 7usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2026-1-16,
for a premium of approximately $1.40.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
LAZR trade ideas
LAZR consolidation complete! Strong buy setup!Solid base built over last several weeks.

Will likely consolidate a bit more after 12.8 is reached, before continuation to 20-22$ buy-side targets later in 2025.

$LAZR - Temptimg on the Hourly This stock reversed split recently to comply with Nasdaq listing requirements. It has been beaten down since November. The stock on the long is facing challenges but if we rely on technicals alone it seems that it is curling to an uptrend, Still needs confirmation thou. I feel optimistic although i jumped in a little bit early but with trend change & the 30% short interest i couldn't stay away to the levels below.
I do currently have a position with a tight stop if it closes an hour below $5.55. The best entry level if it confirms a daily close above $6.4-$6.51 or if it retests $5.55 and keep a tight stop on the 2 hours chart below $5.55.
This not a financial advice. Please do your own DD
Luminar Technologies buy $8.08LAZR are the leading manufacturers of advanced LIDAR systems in the USA.
According to Reuters a recent government think tank report has concluded that Chinese made equipment poses a threat to US national security (no surprise there, yet more anti china rhetoric). This may however prove to be a good thing for Luminar as China is a major supplier of equipment in this field and their products are cheaper than US made products.
According to the report the US military are exploring uses for the technology, any future orders are likely to go to LAZR, being leaders in the field in the US.

The stock price is now at all time lows having just completed a reverse stock split in order to avoid being delisted from the NASDAQ.
This one is highly speculative, in my opinion the risk/ reward looks good given the expected growth in this market. I have bought a small position
LAZR Focused this time on the Squeeze Inbound!LAZR Short Interest & Bullish Diamond Formation on 4H Timeframe
As of June 5th, 2024, LAZR Luminar Technologies shows promising short interest and bullish patterns. We've completed a bullish intraday diamond on the 4-hour timeframe and are basing out at key Fibonacci support and resistance levels. To break out of the May 2022 falling wedge, we need to surpass the $2.50-$3.00 range. Current short squeeze figures:
Short Interest: 95,622,129 shares (Source: NASDAQ)
Short Interest Ratio: 31.57 Days to Cover
Short Interest % Float: 28.59% (Source: NASDAQ, Capital IQ)
Off-Exchange Short Volume: 2,150,288 shares (Source: FINRA, including Dark Pool volume)
Off-Exchange Short Volume Ratio: 65.20% (Source: FINRA, including Dark Pool volume)
LAZR Luminar Technologies: Bullish Wedge Breakout on the HorizoLuminar Technologies (LAZR) is poised for a breakout from its bullish wedge. Following earnings with a slight EPS miss and Tesla news, we saw a rally. Currently, we're testing support around $1.60. Holding $1.60 and breaking $2.29 are crucial for the bull trend. The real short squeeze could occur above $2.50-$3. With VIX levels to watch at $15-$17.50, stay tuned for potential price action in the coming weeks.

LAZR Stock Analysis: Breaking Out of the Wedge...TRYING...I previously discussed hedging LAZR and other long positions with UVIX/UVXY/VXX and SQQQ calls with 2-3 week expirations. In this update, we analyze the formation of a higher-order bull diamond after a dip below the interim wedge. Observing multiple intraday candle closes above $2.30 will be crucial to invalidating the negation pattern and confirming the breakout. Once cleared, the next resistance zones to watch are $2.75-$3.00, which could lead to a short squeeze given the high short interest and dark pool activity.
Look at my LAZR Analysis before you let MMs Shake You Out!Get ready for an exciting week ahead with LAZR Luminar Technologies! We're seeing the upside earnings surprise being priced in, coupled with a massive falling wedge that's about to break out above $1.70 and then soar to $2.00-$2.20 on the second wedge.
LAZR Analysis:
Earnings may be the catalyst for this breakout, but that's not all. I've also identified a weekly diamond pattern, indicating a perfect storm for a rise. Watch out for any gap downs below $1.68 (we saw $1.51-$1.52 after hours) - these are just shakeouts orchestrated by market makers. Stay strong and don't let them fool you!
Short Ratio as of May 5th, 2024, is at 22 days to cover or more, with short interest vs float/outstanding at 25% or more. Dark pool off-exchange trading is over 50%. We're on the brink of something big, and I'm more convicted on this trade than anything else I hold!
Bolstering LAZR Bull Sentiment:
Remember, we're also keeping an eye on the VIX, which further supports our bullish stance on LAZR. As the VIX falls, the stage is set for heightened bullishness in stocks like LAZR. The VIX's decline indicates decreasing volatility and rising confidence in the market, both of which are favorable for LAZR's upward trajectory.

Supporting Factors:

Short Interest: A high level of short interest could fuel a short squeeze if earnings exceed expectations.
Industry Growth: The broader autonomous vehicle industry's positive outlook could contribute to bullish sentiment.

Conclusion:
📈 Both trajectories present opportunities for bullish movements in LAZR. A breakout before earnings could capitalize on existing momentum, while a breakout from an earnings surprise could provide a significant catalyst. Keep a close watch on key technical levels and market sentiment for clues on which trajectory is more likely to unfold. Remember, in trading, adaptability is key! 🕵️♂️
LAZR May be pricing in a big rally preearningsLAZR May be pricing in a big rally preearnings - They have -900 million earned and - 1.4 something EPS currently. They began shipping orders and I assume they do accrual accounting (very good assumption I should look eh?) thus any shipments even on net 60-90 invoices will be revenue calculated against expenses and increase bottom line.
This f...king thing may go by the 5th!
Ichimoku Resistance Turns Support, Key Levels AheadOn the 1-hour chart of LAZR, we observe significant technical developments for the trading day of 4/30/2024. The previous Ichimoku resistance has now turned into support, indicating a bullish sentiment.
Key resistance levels to watch:
$1.65: Strong resistance (confluence)
$1.80: Moderate resistance (corresponds to .382 retracement from the rally, which occurred from approximately $3.60-$3.70 to the $1.20 low)
It's worth noting that the last break below $2 was likely due to BoA manipulation, in the opinion of some traders. Once we break the $1.80 resistance, which serves as a significant psychological barrier, we could potentially see a squeeze on short positions, reminiscent of squeezing a lemon.
LAZR Possible wedge breakout trajectory...LAZR Possible wedge breakout trajectory... We are stalled with a basing VIX that should still continue downward at the end of a wedge we made our way back in post overshoot below 1.40 due to BoA manipulation...
yup they are wrong and that was their market makers and them working together so they could screw us but not me! long 200+ may 3 to 17th calls and more stock.

Got the "Tap" of .618 we needed, get ready!candle was enough to get a profit taking dip today, but is NOT a bearish piercing candle as it does not encroach 50% into the body and it has a bullish bottom wick.
The retracement that happened today to .618 from our 1.20 lows was exactly .618
Many may call today bad, but no way was it, we did the neccessary 4% drop we needed today to hit said levels.

After breaking the initial barrier at $1.60-$1.70, we retraced to the previous support zone of $1.40-$1.44. Holding at $1.38 will signal the next move upwards, aiming for $2 psychological level once $1.70 is surpassed. The target area thereafter is around $2.20, with confirmation needed through intraday/intrahour closes. Following a retracement to $2.20 (a shotgun launch), the trajectory is set to reach $4 psychological level!
