SpaceX IPO hype is off the charts — momentum play on the June 12 debut
Created
Thesis
SpaceSpace's IPO is historically massive and backed heavily by Middle Eastern wealth funds, which means big money is locked in for the long haul. When big investors pile in and the offering is four times oversubscribed, it means regular buyers will have to fight for shares once trading begins. Historically, massive hype IPOs tend to see a strong 'first-day pop' as regular investors rush to get a piece of the action. Getting in on the first day of trading to ride that initial wave of excitement is the core of this idea.
Strategy approach
Build a momentum strategy for the SpaceX IPO (ticker likely 'SPX'). Enter a long position at market open on June 12. Use a 15-minute timeframe for the first 3 days. Condition: Enter if the stock trades above the day's opening VWAP after the first 30 minutes of trading. Exit condition: 5% trailing stop, or exit at market close on day 3.
