NYSE: CCIV has seen its recent choppiness continue as things get volatile ahead of the upcoming shareholder vote for its merger with Lucid Motors. On Tuesday, the stock fell by 2.52% to close the day at $26.32, as the electric vehicle industry took a breather from its recent climb. The good news is that CCIV continues to see bounces off the support level of right around $26.30, which shows that the stock is consolidating nicely towards a breakout in either direction. With the positive catalyst of the Lucid merger, odds are that the breakout will continue on in the bullish uptrend.
