Musk Highly Confident On Orbital Nvidia Computers For 2027
SPCX closed at $148.13 on September 14, 2026, down 2.04% versus the prior session's close of $151.21.
Executive Summary
SPCX pulled back from an early push toward $152.56 to close at $148.13, a 2.04% decline on the day. Volume came in at 60.1 million shares, below both the prior session's 79.3 million and the stock's running average of 78.2 million to date, suggesting the drop was not accompanied by unusually heavy participation. The session's weakness lines up with a broader risk-off tone in tech and AI-adjacent names on September 14, with several outlets reporting premarket declines in semiconductor and AI-infrastructure stocks (CoreWeave, Micron, Dell) tied to AI-safety concerns raised by industry executives. SPCX-specific coverage on the day centered on Elon Musk's comments that SpaceX expects to launch Nvidia AI computers into orbit as soon as next year, and on reporting about a capacity tension between Starlink revenue-generating flights and Starship's moon-program development work ahead of Flight 14.
Despite the pullback, SPCX closed well above both its 20-day and 50-day moving averages and remains up sharply from its early-August lows, so today's session reads more as a cooldown within a still-intact medium-term uptrend than a trend reversal on the data available.

Price Action
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Open | $147.33 |
| High | $152.56 |
| Low | $146.00 |
| Close | $148.13 |
| Change vs prior close | -2.04% (-$3.08) |
| Volume | 60,111,423 |
| Intraday range | $6.56 |
| Close vs IPO offer price ($135.00) | +9.73% |
SPCX opened at $147.33, close to the prior session's $151.21 close, then rallied intraday to a session high of $152.56 before fading through the afternoon to a low of $146.00 and finishing at $148.13. That left the close down 2.04% versus the prior session and roughly flat to fractionally above the opening print. The $6.56 intraday range was wide relative to recent sessions, but volume of 60.1 million shares trailed both the prior day's 79.3 million and the 78.2 million average to date, indicating the swing happened on lighter-than-typical participation. Against the $135.00 IPO offer price, SPCX remains up 9.73%, though it sits well below its $160.95 first-day close.
The session's wide range on below-average volume points to a rejection of the intraday highs rather than a decisive breakdown.
Technicals
SPCX has been trading for roughly three months since its June 12, 2026 IPO. That is enough history for the shorter- and medium-window measures shown here — RSI-14 and the 5/10/20/50-day moving averages — to register, but the 200-day moving average is not yet available and will not be for several more months. These readings should be treated as early-stage: a young listing's technical structure can shift quickly as more trading history accumulates.
Trend
SPCX has been in a broad recovery since bottoming near $108 in late July/early August, climbing from the SMA-50 of $134.80 through the SMA-20 of $143.40 and the SMA-10 of $147.29. The close of $148.13 sits above all of the available moving averages (SMA-5 $149.71, EMA-5 $148.75, SMA-10 $147.29, SMA-20 $143.40, SMA-50 $134.80) except the SMA-5, which the stock closed just below today. That configuration is consistent with an intact medium-term uptrend that is digesting recent gains rather than reversing.
Candle read
Today's candle had a real body of just $0.81 against a $6.56 range, an upper wick of $4.43, and a lower wick of $1.32, with the close landing at the 0.32 mark of the day's range — the lower third. That combination — a small body sitting low in a wide range, with a long upper wick and a shorter lower wick — shows the stock pushed sharply toward $152.56 intraday before sellers took it back down through most of the range into the close. Even though the close edged fractionally above the open, the shape of the candle reflects rejection of the day's highs rather than sustained buying pressure.
Support levels
- $147.29 — the SMA-10
- $146.00 — today's session low
- $145.00 — nearest round-number level below current price
- $143.40 — the SMA-20
- $134.80 — the SMA-50, the furthest support shown in the data
Resistance levels
- $148.75 — the EMA-5, just above today's close
- $149.71 — the SMA-5
- $150.00 — nearest round-number level above current price
- $151.21 — the prior session's close
- $152.56 — today's session high
Momentum interpretation
RSI-14 stands at 55.85, above the midpoint but nowhere near overbought territory, consistent with an uptrend that has paused rather than exhausted itself.
Bull scenario: a move back above the SMA-5/EMA-5 cluster near $148.75-$149.71 that holds through $151.21 and retests today's $152.56 high would signal buyers reasserting control.
Bear scenario: a close below the SMA-10 at $147.29 and then the $146.00 session low, opening the door toward the SMA-20 at $143.40, would suggest the pullback is extending.
Neutral scenario: continued chop between roughly $146.00 and $150.00 without a decisive close outside that band would keep the stock in a consolidation phase within the larger uptrend.
Trading Takeaway
SPCX gave back 2.04% on September 14 after an intraday push to $152.56 was rejected, but it did so on below-average volume and while holding above its SMA-10, SMA-20, and SMA-50 — evidence of a pullback within an uptrend rather than a break of one. The next session's key levels to watch are support at $147.29 (SMA-10) and $146.00 (session low), and resistance at $149.71-$150.00 and the prior close/session high zone of $151.21-$152.56. A close outside either boundary would be the clearer signal for which way this consolidation resolves.
