SpaceX IPO steals the spotlight — ride the excitement to smaller space stocks li
Created
Thesis
When a massive company like SpaceX goes public, it shines a spotlight on all the smaller companies doing similar work. Even though SpaceX is getting most of the attention today, investors who missed out on the IPO might look to buy already-public space stocks like Rocket Lab as a cheaper alternative. If this fresh excitement pushes these smaller stocks higher on heavy trading volume, it creates a momentum opportunity to ride the wave.
Strategy approach
Build a momentum-breakout strategy that enters long RKLB on D when volume > 1.5x its 20-day average volume and price closes above the upper Bollinger Band (20, 2). Exit on a 5% trailing stop or after a 10-day max hold.
