What's weighing on the Novonix share price?
Despite the company's silence, the Novonix share price is handing back some of its recent gains on Monday.
The stock surged a whopping 13.65% on Friday to mark its highest closing price in eight weeks at $3.08. Like today, there was no news at the time to explain its rise.
However, Novonix's exceptional day in the green on Friday might explain the losses it's posting today. It could be a simple case of profit-taking.
And while the stock appeared to overcome a near-two-month lull last week, it's still a long way from its recent peaks.
The Novonix share price reached an all-time high of $12.47 in December 2021. It's currently trading 76% lower than it was back then.
But additional respite (or further falls) could come soon enough.
The market expects to hear from the ASX 200 tech stock later this month when it releases its annual report. That's set to drop on 25 August.
