SpaceX pops 20% on record-breaking IPO — ride the debut momentum

Created

Thesis

SpaceX is the most anticipated stock market debut in years. The sheer scale of the $75 billion raised and the instant 20% pop shows massive demand from investors wanting to own a piece of the space industry. With Elon Musk at the helm and the company instantly becoming one of the largest publicly traded companies in the world, there is likely strong momentum to carry the stock higher as more people gain access to buy it.

Strategy approach

Build a momentum strategy for SPCX on the 1-hour timeframe. Enter long when the price breaks above the highest high of the first 3 hourly candles of trading. Exit when the price closes below the 10-period EMA, or set a 5% trailing stop, with a maximum holding period of 5 trading days.
