CCIV Stock Price: Lucid Motors + Churchill Capital IV crypto losses should flow to meme stocks

Update: CCIV shares recovered some ground on Friday as the stock failed to break key support at $17.62. Holding the line here may provide some succour for CCIV bulls. A delay in the merger date is not exactly good news for investors and neither is the continued wait for the first production vehicle. 

NYSE:CCIV is on a one-way road back down to its SPAC NAV price as investors are getting impatient with the once promising electric vehicle merger. That is not to say that Lucid Motors will not one day be a fine investment, but concerns over pre-merger valuations and management being noncommittal about future vehicle deliveries has taken most of the wind out of CCIV’s sails. On Thursday, CCIV fell a further 3.1% and broke a key support level that could see the stock plummet back to its $15 PIPE price. There seems to be some support in after hours trading though as the stock is back up 2% at the time of this writing.
