Beyond Meat Stock Soars 15.64% on Speculative Trading

Beyond Meat's stock surged 15.64% in pre-market trading on July 23, 2025, marking a significant rally for the plant-based meat company.

Beyond Meat's recent volatility has been driven by a mix of technical signals and speculative trading. The stock's 23.86% intraday jump on July 21, 2020, was a rare occurrence, highlighting the challenges of holding such a volatile stock over short to medium time frames. Backtesting the subsequent 3, 10, and 30 days reveals a generally disappointing trajectory, with the stock often ending up below its starting point in the weeks following a strong intraday rally.

Traders have been betting on a rebound from recent lows, with high implied volatility underscoring market uncertainty. The stock's proximity to key support at $3.43 and resistance at $3.51 has intensified speculative activity, with traders prioritizing short-term bets on a $4.50 close. The July 25 $4.5 call option offers explosive potential for those betting on a $4.50 close, while the August 15 $4 call option provides a safer, longer-term play.
