This really is impressive..

Luminar’s Iris is the most advanced lidar solution for series-production autonomy. It solves the fundamental problem of reliable, long-range sensing for real-world systems. From scene monitoring to vehicle control, it operates over temperatures from -40C to +85C under harsh conditions including shock and vibration, for series-production programs with an initial SOP in 2022.

With camera-like resolution of more than 300 points per square degree and high data fidelity, Iris reliably sees where objects are and understands what they are -- even at long distances. Developed with safety and cybersecurity in mind, Iris can enable safe and unsupervised automation of vehicles and other equipment.

I believe that LAZR is getting ready to go green big time. Picked up a starters position and some call options today. Will add more when cash transfer gets posted. Looks to me like they are the leader in LAZER tech.

The Bear is Boss in the stock market and there are too many factors at play for this Bear will remain longer with the market. I think my approach given the fact that nobody knows the bottom of this market, is to average down cost and time. It will depend on ones individual financial condition and the choices made among the best of stocks within ones available budget. We are in challenging times and ones knowledge and ability to navigate the storm become important. GLTA

PS: High Pole alert on LAZR meaning a likely downturn in trend. We shall see.

[JJ8]

Heading north in demand volume at the $9 price level presently.

Next station likely at $11.35

Looking forward for higher share prices sooner.

Cheers & GLTA

[JJ8]

BEARISH Signal REVERSED, yesterday, on 10-Nov-2022. As I posted before, an alert for a likely buy suggestion to come was given on Oct. 20, 2022. GLTA

[JJ8]

The challenge is to close over 8.69 ahead.

Likely to happen soon. We shall see. GLTA

[JJ8]

My day order to buy LAZR was filled at $8.20

What follows next is for the Weekly to confirm the Daily that is already in Uptrend mode at this time.

Hopefully that will happen this week today or next week.

Cheers & GLTA

[JJ8]

LAZR share price DOUBLE TOP BREAKOUT today, on 25-Oct-2022.

Cheers & GLTA

[XenaLives]

That is because the market is like Sumo wresting with heavy weights throwing each other around and you keep asking yourself ... "Is this for real?"

[JJ8]

Low Pole Reversal today.

It means an alert for a possible buy signal. We are not there yet. However,

Let's keep in mind that we are in a serious bear market. The Dailies have been in uptrend for the last 3 daily sessions. Unless Weekly also changes from downtrend to uptrend, there won't be a confirmation of the Dailies. We shall see.

Technical Analysis flip flops in such fast changing markets even on daily basis.. The signals are reversing themselves almost too fast for charting. I follow Tesla and they are getting bleaker by descending triple bottom breakdowns following each other in a week or two. Anyway,

Cheers & GLTY

[XenaLives]

LAZR rallied before the general BlackRock P&D rally, Three day chart used for smoothing as weekly chart is often painted, IMO. Daily chart below.

Luminar Technologies

Luminar Technologies (LAZR) has also had a miserable year in the markets. It's down more than 61% YTD.
The pure-play Lidar (light detection and ranging) company’s products will be in many of the future autonomous-driving vehicles. At least, that’s the opinion of J.P. Morgan analysts.

In September, J.P. Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee and the other analysts at the bank gave Luminar’s stock an Overweight rating. Chatterjee believes that the company’s focus on Level 3-plus applications will make it the leader in the industry by 2030.

The analyst projects 2030 revenue of $6 billion while earning $7.25 a share at the same time. That’s more than its current share price. Analysts, on the whole, have given LAZR stock a December 2023 target price of $30.

The LAZR Oct. 28 $7.50 call option has a volume of 50,220, 90.49x its open interest, indicating that someone has big hopes for the Lidar stock. It’s an exciting bet for aggressive investors.

Luminar Technologies Flirts With Autonomy Prime Time
Before you buy LAZR stock, just know we’ve been here before

By Josh Enomoto, InvestorPlace Contributor Dec 15, 2020, 6:43 am EDT
To say that Luminar Technologies (NASDAQ:LAZR) enjoyed an explosive debut would be a gross understatement. Making its public debut via a reverse merger, LAZR stock makes good on this year of the SPAC, or special purpose acquisition company. Specializing in autonomous driving solutions, Luminar is also levered to next-generation transportation methods, which of course is a hot topic.

But the idea of buying into shares right now, especially after an extremely volatile session last Friday where they lost nearly 18% of market value, is a tough proposition.

From where I stand, the debate about LAZR stock comes down to speculation of its potential versus the underlying reality of true vehicular autonomy.

Precise and Accurate
Here’s what I mean. On one hand, the science behind Luminar Technologies is incredibly compelling. From my last write-up of the company, I mentioned that it incorporates “an advanced system based off lidar, or light detection and ranging. Utilizing pulses of electromagnetic radiation, lidar signals ‘ping’ off objects and calculates their distance based on the time it takes for the signal to return.”

As an active detection system, Luminar has a distinct advantage (in terms of present-day technologies) over passive systems like cameras in inclement conditions. Camera sensors can fog up, which may easily confuse autonomous processors. Of course, confusion can lead to devastating results. However, Luminar’s emitted lasers can pinpoint precisely where an object is. As the innovation improves, so will the processing ability to distinguish various objects.

7 Electric Vehicle Stocks With Style and Substance
And because Luminar is so precise and accurate, it’s safer for vehicle-pedestrian interactions. Thanks to the company’s three-dimensional velocity detection system, its computer can detect objects that obstruct the underlying vehicle’s path, as well as predict the disrupting object’s motions. That way, Luminar’s system can make the appropriate avoidance maneuver.

It’s all brilliant stuff that has drawn both investors and speculators to LAZR stock. But how likely will mainstream autonomy be?

LAZR Stock Has a Hype Factor You Don’t Want to Ignore
Interestingly, Elon Musk of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has choice words for the lidar system underlining LAZR stock. Last year, Musk decried lidar as a “fool’s errand.” He likened the solution to “expensive sensors that are unnecessary.” Still, to Luminar’s credit, the upstart firm has so far achieved impressive testing results. On the other hand, Tesla’s full-autonomous efforts have had some hiccups, to put it diplomatically.

But does that make LAZR stock a screaming buy right now? It very well might seem that way. As you know, more companies are pushing toward electric vehicles and other alternative fuel sources. Also, the novel coronavirus pandemic incentivizes autonomous research and development. Biologically and societally, major pandemics have imposed significant negative impacts on affected people. Therefore, the paradigm of public transportation can change forever.

Nevertheless, you don’t want to jump right into LAZR stock without appreciating that we’ve been here before in terms of hype and overly optimistic forecasts of technological integration into daily society. Just consider the words of former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx.

Back in 2016, Foxx stated that “By 2021, we will see autonomous vehicles in operation across the country in ways that we [only] imagine today… My daughter, who will be 16 in 2021, won’t have her driver’s license. She will be using a service.”

I mention this not to pick on Foxx. Rather, I think it’s important to understand the surprising power of euphoria, especially when there’s money involved. If the secretary of transportation can get caught up in the hype train, imagine what that could do (temporarily) to Robinhood traders.

Many Variables Ahead
More importantly, Vox contributor Eric Adams noted that there are so many variables for autonomous systems to account for. Adams mentions edge cases, such as “comprehending the difference between a flock of birds dashing across the road or wind-blown leaves that are fine to run down.”

Until autonomous systems can comprehensively adapt to the unknown while keeping occupants safe, Luminar and competitors such as Velodyne Lidar (NASDAQ:VLDR) will have a steep uphill battle to climb.

Know What You’re Getting Into
That’s not to say that you should outright avoid LAZR stock. Again, I believe it’s a compelling technology. However, you should be aware that as shares attract a hefty premium, stakeholders will want to see some fundamental justification. The issue is that justification may be a long time coming due to the aforementioned variables.

If I had to guess the nearer-term trajectory of LAZR stock, though, I’d say we may have more downside ahead of us. For example, I can’t help but notice many SPACs printed a similar trajectory to Luminar: huge initial momentum, then a crash, then perhaps another leg higher.

But that should be good news if you’re long-term bullish on Luminar as the market may give you a discount. Just prepare for a choppy ride.
