The Vulcan Energy (ASX:VUL) share price has fallen 17% in 2 weeks

When the Vulcan Energy Resources Ltd (ASX: VUL) share price started to move recently, it put the returns of most shares to shame.

The lithium company’s shares were trading at less than 20 cents in late 2019 to early 2020 before running as high as $14.20 on 19 January 2021. 

But for investors with the fear of missing out or chasing highs, this has likely ended in tears as the Vulcan share price has started to give back some of its extraordinary returns. 

After hitting its all-time record high of $14.20, its shares have more than halved to close at $6.18 on Tuesday. Even in recent weeks, the Vulcan share price has fallen some 17%.
