Public trading strategy
SpaceX IPO is 4x oversubscribed — catch the satellite boom in publicly traded sp
Created
Thesis
When a highly anticipated company goes public and demand massively outstrips supply, the excitement often spills over into related companies already publicly traded. Investors who cannot get SpaceX shares will look for the next best way to invest in the booming space and satellite economy. Public satellite and communications companies that support similar infrastructure could see a wave of sympathy buying as people try to ride the SpaceX hype. This pattern of money flowing into related stocks during a massive IPO is a common market reaction.
Strategy approach
Build a breakout strategy on ASTS (AST SpaceMobile) using the daily timeframe. Enter a long position if the price breaks and closes above the highest high of the previous 5 daily sessions (Donchian channel breakout), with volume at least 1.5x the 20-day average volume. Exit the position using an 8% trailing stop, or if the price closes below the 10-day simple moving average on the daily chart.
