Few stocks arrive with as much noise as SpaceX. SPCX closed Monday at $136.37, up 1.2% and barely above its $135 IPO price, Motley Fool reports. That matters, because anyone who bought in June is sitting on almost nothing. Our piece on Tesla’s $400 test shows how fast Musk-linked sentiment can flip. So, what does the chart say?

What the Chart Shows
Begin with the $135 IPO price, set on 11 June in the largest IPO ever , marked by the blue band. The first day closed at $161, which was the first top. Then it dropped to about $144 on Oct. 29th; then dropped 6.4% to $134.72 on Oct. 30th; and finally rose to $136.37. The upper resistance level is $142, which was the previous Monday’s high. The area shaded in grey between $135 and $142 is where we are seeing the battle. The dotted lines represent the 52-week high at $225.64 and the 52-week low at $104.83. Consider the x-axis as a map, not a clock.
The Supply Problem
The quiet threat is supply. During the month of August, approximately 319 million additional shares became available for trading in Yahoo Finance reported a 1.3 billion-share tranche unlocking around the third-quarter report, with a 180-day expiry in December. Musk’s 6.42 billion shares stay locked until June 2027. More sellers can mean more pressure, so if you follow our swing trading strategies , keep positions small.
Valuation and Tech Mood
Valuation is also an argument. The market cap of approximately $1.85 trillion represents a substantial premium. The profitability of Starlink is driving the company’s performance, while the AI-segment’s capex (capital expenditure) of $16.4 billion was significantly greater than the company’s quarterly revenue of $14.6 billion. The drop on Friday, when the tech sector declined 4.9% demonstrates how dependent SPCX is on AI sentiment.
Our price action guide explains how to read swings like that.
A Practical Game Plan
New listing stock prices are different from previously listed stock price histories. Because there is very limited price history for new listing stocks, the IPO price and the closing price on its first day have more impact on the direction of the stock. Also, volatility will increase as the amount of stock being traded increases. Reduce your size of trade. When using stop loss orders, use a dollar amount instead of percentage amounts, and do not add to losing positions. You may wish to wait until a stock closes at a dollar value higher than $142 to purchase the stock, or a dollar value lower than $135 to short the stock, rather than trying to guess when the stock breaks out. Leverage products increase both gains and losses. It is important to know how leverage products work prior to making trades involving leverage. Never invest money that you cannot afford to lose. Prior to making any trade, ask yourself one question: what would cause me to be incorrect in my assessment of this trade and how much would it cost me to be incorrect? If the response to this question causes you discomfort, then your trade is too large. New listings can also have price gaps due to news releases; therefore, your stop loss order could potentially be executed at a less favourable rate than anticipated.
Three Scenarios
Bullish: a close above $142 targets the $161 day-one close.
Bearish: a close below $135 aims for the $104.83 low.
Neutral: consolidation between $135 and $142.
The direction will be determined by how quickly the lock-up expires and how the tech sector is viewed in the short run. Therefore, your entry should be tight. In the long-term, Starship’s success and the expansion of Starlink must support the $1.85 trillion value.
Day traders can use our intraday stock-picking guide , but this is a volatile, newly listed stock. Will $135 turn out to be a floor or a trapdoor? Plan your exit before the next headline.
