Missed SpaceX's IPO? Don't worry, there are two "certain" money-making opportunities next week



Are you still regretting not buying SPCS at $135?

Don't panic. A 19% increase on the first day is real, and $80 billion in trading volume is no joke. But true professionals, they don't chase high on the first day.

They are waiting for two things: MSCI inclusion and options listing.

These two windows are your chances to turn things around.

Window One: The "freebie" from MSCI passive buying

Today, MSCI has officially started including SPCS.

Global passive funds tracking MSCI indices (trillions in size) must buy SPCS according to their weights within the specified time.

This is a mandatory buy order.

Strategy: Buy before the inclusion takes effect (or during the initial phase), then sell the short-term pulse caused by passive fund positioning to the buyers.

If market expectations are overly optimistic, the pulse may be limited. So don’t be greedy—take a bite and run.

Window Two: "Volatility harvesting" after options listing

Next Tuesday, CBOE will launch SPCS options.

In the early days of new stock options, there is an almost certain pattern: implied volatility (IV) will be overestimated.

Because market makers fear sharp rises and falls, they set option prices very high. At this time, if you have margin, selling straddle options (selling both calls and puts) allows you to profit from IV decline—professionally called "harvesting volatility premium."

A more retail-friendly approach: wait for IV to drop, then buy call options. Don’t buy on the first day of listing—that’s giving money to market makers.

But here’s a cold shower:

With a market cap of $2.1 trillion, the ninth-largest asset globally, this isn’t a small meme coin. To go higher, it needs real performance—Starlink profits, Starship progress, NASA orders. Don’t treat it like Dogecoin.

After options launch, short-selling forces will enter the market for real. Previously, without tools, big funds dared not short. Now, with options hedging, bears may strike at any time.

The MSCI inclusion pulse may already be partially priced in. The first-day turnover of $80 billion, ample trading, smart money may have already been lurking.

IPO is like a lottery; MSCI arbitrage is a skill; options harvesting is professional.

Ordinary people regret not buying at $135. Professionals are calculating: how high can passive buying push it? How much can IV decline bring in? When will short sellers move in?

Missing the first day isn’t scary; what’s scary is that you can’t even see the next window. #我的Gate交易时刻 #TradFiCFD黄金大师赛 #Marvell大涨超11%领涨芯片板块 $BTC $ETH $SPCX
