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.
