SPCX After The Share Unlock: Can SpaceX Reclaim $150?

Current Price: $140
The $150 Question Is Now The Main Battle
SPCX is currently trading around $140 based on the latest price level provided. The big question is whether the stock can recover to $150 after the recent large share unlock. My view is that $150 is achievable if buyers continue defending the $135 to $140 area and trading volume remains strong. From $140 to $150 the required upside is only 7.14%. That is a relatively small move for a stock that has already shown daily swings of more than 10%. The important point is that $150 is not just another round number. It has already become one of the most closely watched resistance zones because traders have repeatedly focused on this level after the IPO and unlock events. Market coverage has also identified $150 as a key resistance area for SPCX.

The Unlock Was A Major Supply Test

The biggest concern around SPCX has been the release of previously restricted shares. The first major unlock made approximately 911.5 million shares eligible for trading and another large tranche followed later in August. Around 319 million additional shares became eligible on August 20. That created a significant test for demand because more available shares can increase selling pressure. However the important part is how price reacted. Instead of collapsing permanently after the unlock pressure appeared the stock managed to recover and remain close to the $135 IPO level. That reaction is important because it suggests the market was able to absorb additional supply better than many traders expected. The IPO itself was priced at $135 so this level now has both psychological and technical importance.

Why The Rebound Matters

The strongest signal is not simply that SPCX moved back toward $140. The stronger signal is that buyers have repeatedly defended the area around the IPO price after the unlock pressure. Earlier in August the stock found support near $109.20 and then moved toward $150. That represented roughly 37% upside from $109.20 to $150. The stock also reclaimed the $135 IPO level during that recovery. From $109.20 to the current $140 level the gain is approximately 28.2%. From $135 to $140 the stock is now approximately 3.7% above the IPO price. This tells me that the market has moved from an initial supply shock toward a price discovery phase. If $135 continues to hold then the unlock may ultimately become a test that strengthens the stock rather than permanently weakening it.

What Happens If SPCX Breaks $150?

This is where the setup becomes much more interesting. At $140 the first target is $145 which requires approximately 3.57% upside. The next target is $150 which requires 7.14% upside. If SPCX breaks $150 with strong volume and closes above it then the market could start targeting $160. From $140 to $160 that would be approximately 14.3% upside. A move to $165 would represent approximately 17.9% upside while $175 would represent approximately 25% upside. If momentum becomes extremely strong then $180 would represent approximately 28.6% upside and $200 would represent approximately 42.9% upside from the current $140 level. I would not treat these higher targets as guaranteed. They become realistic only if SPCX successfully converts $150 from resistance into support and the broader growth story continues attracting buyers.

Key Support Levels Are More Important Than Ever

For me the most important support is $135. This is the IPO price and a major psychological reference. From $140 to $135 the downside is only approximately 3.57%. If SPCX pulls back toward $135 and buyers immediately step in then that could create a strong risk controlled setup. Below $135 the next area to watch is around $130 which is approximately 7.14% below $140. The next major support zone would be around $125 which is approximately 10.7% below the current price. A deeper correction toward $120 would represent approximately 14.3% downside. The previous major low near $109.20 is extremely important because a fall from $140 to $109.20 would represent approximately 22% downside. As long as the stock remains comfortably above $135 the immediate structure remains constructive. A sustained break below $125 would make me much more cautious.

My Trading Strategy From $140

I would not chase SPCX simply because the stock is close to $150. The better strategy is to watch how price behaves around the $135 to $140 region. For an existing holder the key objective is to protect the position while allowing the trend to develop. If SPCX remains above $135 then the bullish setup remains active. A move above $145 would be the first momentum confirmation and a clean breakout above $150 would be the stronger signal. For a new entry I would prefer either a controlled pullback toward $135 to $138 or a confirmed breakout above $150 with strong volume. Buying around $136 and targeting $150 would offer approximately 10.3% upside. Buying around $140 and targeting $160 would offer approximately 14.3% upside. A move toward $175 would offer approximately 25% upside. The key is not to enter the entire position at one price. Scaling into a position can reduce the risk of buying immediately before another pullback.

The Fundamental Story Can Support Higher Prices

The long term story behind SPCX is much bigger than the unlock itself. SpaceX combines launch services satellite connectivity through Starlink and ambitious future projects involving Starship and AI infrastructure. Recent reporting says SpaceX is planning a massive new Starbase facility in Louisiana with investment potentially reaching $100 billion through 2035. The company is also developing plans for Nvidia powered AI satellites that could eventually provide computing infrastructure in orbit. These projects create a long term growth narrative but they also require enormous capital spending. That means the market will continue balancing future growth against valuation and funding requirements.

My Forecast And Final View

My base case is that SPCX can retest $150 if the $135 to $140 zone continues to hold. At $140 the move to $150 requires only 7.14% upside which is very achievable if momentum returns. My first upside target is $150. If $150 breaks and holds then I would watch $160 for approximately 14.3% upside and $175 for approximately 25% upside. A stronger momentum phase could eventually take the stock toward $200 which would represent approximately 42.9% upside from $140.

However I would not jump directly to $200 without confirmation.

The most important levels are simple. $150 is the major resistance. $145 is the first breakout test. $140 is the current decision area. $135 is the key support and IPO level. $130 is the next downside checkpoint. $125 is the major risk level and $109.20 is the previous major support zone.
My personal view is moderately bullish above $135. The reason is that SPCX has already survived a major supply test and managed to recover toward the $140 area. The market did not simply reject the additional supply and continue lower. Instead buyers returned around important levels. If volume expands and SPCX closes decisively above $150 then the market could shift from recovery mode into a new momentum phase.

The biggest risk is another wave of selling from newly eligible shares or a broader market correction. If SPCX loses $135 and cannot reclaim it quickly then the $130 to $125 zone becomes the next area to watch. A break below $125 would weaken the bullish setup and make a move toward $150 less likely in the short term.
So can SPCX return to $150?

Yes. At $140 I believe $150 is a realistic near term target provided $135 remains protected. The required gain is only 7.14%. If $150 breaks with strong volume then $160 becomes the next target at roughly 14.3% upside followed by $175 at 25% and potentially $200 at 42.9%. But the market must earn those targets one level at a time.

For me the best plan is simple: respect $135 support, watch $145 for momentum, wait for confirmation above $150 and then monitor $160 and $175. The unlock created additional supply but the subsequent price action has shown that buyers are still willing to absorb it. If that demand continues then the recent unlock could become a turning point rather than the end of the rally.
