SpaceX IPO is 4x oversubscribed — get ready for a massive first-day pop

Thesis

SpaceX's debut is generating historic hype, with far more investors wanting shares than actually exist. When an IPO is this heavily oversubscribed, the buyers who missed out often rush into the open market on day one, pushing the stock price up. The company's dominance in rockets, satellites, and artificial intelligence makes it a foundational player that institutions feel they must own. This extreme demand imbalance sets the stage for a strong pop when trading begins on June 12.

Strategy approach

Build a rule-based strategy for the IPO debut of SPACE (SpaceX ticker proxy). Enter a long position on the 15-minute timeframe if the stock breaks 5% above its opening IPO print price within the first two hours of trading. Use a 3% trailing stop and a maximum holding period of 5 trading days. (Alternatively, if direct IPO access is unavailable, enter long on ASTS or RKLB on the daily timeframe using a 20-day breakout filter with a 5% trailing stop, as satellite-focused proxies).
