Video summary
SpaceX Retraces IPO Gains - What Next?
Main summary
Key takeaways
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:
- IPO pop / hype rally
- Retracement that “sweeps the low” (often returning toward or below IPO levels)
- A subsequent rally
- 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.”
