SpaceX Retraces IPO Gains - What Next?

Main summary

Key takeaways

Finance

Finance-focused summary (SpaceX IPO retracement, macro context, and strategy)

  • The speaker notes that SpaceX “gave back” its IPO gains within about a week, suggesting a common IPO behavior: an initial surge followed by trading below the IPO open price later.
  • They reference an often-seen IPO pattern (with some uncertainty), stating that approximately 90% of IPOs eventually trade below their opening/IPO price (the speaker says, “not 100% sure”).
  • Because there’s limited historical price data for SpaceX, they recommend using 4-hour charts to analyze the move.

IPO pattern framework / what the speaker expects

The speaker’s implied “playbook” for IPO price action:

  1. IPO pop / hype rally
  2. Retracement that “sweeps the low” (often returning toward or below IPO levels)
  3. A subsequent rally
  4. Another pullback later in the year, potentially aligned with broader S&P 500 midterm-year weakness (“back half of the year”)

They also suggest that the long-run direction depends on whether the new base forms as a higher low versus a lower low.

Key numbers and timeline references

SpaceX vs. Tesla (both Elon Musk-led; both IPOs launched in June)

  • SpaceX (at launch): price move ~+50%
  • Tesla (at launch): price move ~+60%
  • Tesla retracement:
    • Within days, it went below the initial high
    • From the high, it ultimately dropped ~50% over ~4–5 days
  • SpaceX retracement:
    • From the high, it dropped ~34% over ~4–5 days
    • Possibly up to “six bars” (speaker wording implies timing via candlestick/bar count)

2010 macro comparison using the S&P 500

In 2010, the speaker describes:

  • ~9% drop early in the year
  • Another correction mid-year
  • A larger drawdown: ~17% drop beginning late April / early May

Tesla’s low timing is linked to the broader market:

  • Tesla’s low around late June / early July corresponded to the S&P 500 making a lower low than in February.
  • After that point, Tesla “never went below” that low.
  • The speaker claims the S&P 500 also never went below that level for 16 years—likely referencing the relevant March/February-to-July low zone.

Forward-looking macro in “2026” (speaker’s current year references)

The speaker claims:

  • The S&P 500 has not yet had the “second drop” seen in prior midterm-year examples.

They cite historical midterm-year drawdowns:

  • 2014: ~6% early-year drop; ~10% later-year drop
  • 2018: ~12% early-year drop; ~20% later-year drop
  • 2022: first drop ~14–24% (range depends on measure); second big drop ~20%

Current S&P moves (as of the video):

  • ~10% drop already occurred
  • No second drop yet

They suggest larger corrections often top around August/September historically, referencing:

  • September 2018
  • September 2014

Risk-based conditional scenario

  • If the S&P 500 were to take out the March low, or drop ~20% from that level, the speaker expects SpaceX could form a long-lasting low (lasting “for a really long time”).
  • If that larger market drawdown hasn’t occurred yet, it’s currently “not yet clear” whether SpaceX’s durable low is already in.

Explicit recommendations / cautions

  • Caution: Don’t chase the initial IPO/FOMO rally; IPO gains are often retraced.
  • No bearish bet on the founder:I do not recommend betting against Elon Musk.”
  • Actionable stance (speaker’s view): They plan to accumulate SpaceX, especially in the second half of this year.
  • Not financial advice: The speaker explicitly says “It’s not financial advice.”
