NYSE:CCIV investors have finally seen some light at the end of the tunnel as the SPAC IPO stock has finally reversed its downward trend and put together consecutive green days. On Monday, CCIV added 2.06% to close the first trading session of the week at $18.31, as the stock found support and bounced back up towards its 200-day moving average. CCIV may be rising as a sympathy play to the current #AMCSqueeze hashtag that is trending across social media. Redditors are attempting once again to initiate a short squeeze of AMC, and many of the meme stocks were on the rise Monday in what could be a related play.

Lucid is also introducing ESS or Energy Storage Systems, which is a technology similar to what rival Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has for its batteries. Lucid is currently testing its batteries to be integrated with solar panels at its Arizona headquarters.

Speaking of Tesla, CEO Elon Musk has once again been at the center of controversy on Twitter as he continued to speak out against Bitcoin over the weekend.

The only group of investors that seem to be happy? Dogecoin holders, which Musk has repeatedly backed as a legitimate future currency.
