SpaceX stock has cratered to its lowest price ever after Elon Musk dialed back expectations of a merger with Tesla. With the stock now in record-low territory, any positive surprise in the upcoming SpaceX earnings could spark a sharp relief rally off deeply oversold levels.

## Idea

SpaceX shares have tumbled to a record low, a harsh reaction amplified by Elon Musk pouring cold water on immediate Tesla merger hopes. When a high-profile story stock hits all-time lows, the selling often gets exhausted as the last disappointed sellers exit. With the upcoming SpaceX earnings report on the horizon, expectations have been dragged so low that any remotely positive financial update could trigger a massive short-covering rally. This is a high-risk, contrarian bounce play targeting a rapid price snap-back from extreme pessimism.
