SPCX closed at $148.11 on October 1, 2026, down 1.82% from the prior close of $150.86, on volume of 62,984,051 shares.

Executive Summary

SPCX slipped for the second time in three sessions, finishing at $148.11 after opening at $150.56 and trading between $146.03 and $153.78. The stock closed in the lower part of its range and on lighter volume than the prior session. The shares remain well above the $135.00 IPO offer price and below the $160.95 first-day close.

The day's headlines were a mix of company and sector items. Benzinga reported that SpaceX launched a crew of four astronauts for NASA to the International Space Station on the company's 13th long-duration Dragon mission. Benzinga also noted that shares were edging higher in the morning, a gain that did not hold into the close. Other coverage compared SpaceX's IPO filings with Anthropic's possible IPO, and The Motley Fool published a bullish long-term piece and a bearish comparison piece on the stock. These articles are opinion and commentary, not new company disclosures.

Price Action

Metric	Value
Open	$150.56
High	$153.78
Low	$146.03
Close	$148.11
Change vs prior close	-1.82% (prior close $150.86)
Volume	62,984,051
Intraday range	$7.75
Close vs IPO	+9.7% vs $135.00 offer price; -8.0% vs $160.95 first-day close

Buyers pushed the stock to $153.78 early, but the rally faded and sellers took control. The close of $148.11 sat 27% of the way up the day's range, closer to the low of $146.03 than the high. Volume of 62,984,051 was about 0.58 times the average of 94,000,714 shares per session since the IPO, and below the prior session's 79,679,305. The decline came on lighter participation.

Takeaway: an early push to $153.78 failed, and SPCX gave back its prior-day gain on light volume.

Technicals

SPCX has only a few months of trading history. The 14-day RSI and the 20, 50 and 200-day moving averages are not yet reliable guides, and the 200-day average is unavailable. The read below rests mainly on price structure, candle shape, volume and real price levels. The short-term averages are listed for reference only.

Trend

Since the August low, the stock has recovered from $108.27 on August 5 to the high $140s and low $150s. In September, closes ranged from $140.71 to $154.81, so the stock has moved sideways inside a band of about $140 to $155 for roughly a month. The 5-day SMA is 148.47 and the 5-day EMA is 148.93. The 10-day SMA is 149.80 and the 20-day SMA is 149.67. The close sits just below all four, which points to a flat, neutral short-term trend. The 50-day SMA is 138.14, which is below the current price. RSI-14 reads 51.63, a neutral level.

Candle read

The candle has a body of -2.45, an upper wick of 3.22 and a lower wick of 2.08, across a range of 7.75. The close location of 0.27 means the stock finished in the lower third of its range. The long upper wick shows that the move above the open met selling. The lower wick shows that buyers stepped in near $146.03. Overall, this is a modestly bearish candle with some two-sided trading.

Support levels

$146.03: today's intraday low.
$145.47: the September 28 close, the lowest close of the last five sessions.
$143.49: the September 15 close, the low of the September range.
$138.14: the 50-day SMA, shown only as a reference point.
$135.00: the IPO offer price.

Resistance levels

$150.86: the prior close.
$153.78: today's intraday high.
$154.81: the September 17 close, the high of the September range.
$160.95: the IPO first-day close.

Momentum interpretation

Bull scenario: a close back above $150.86, followed by a close above $154.81, would take the stock out of the September band. The $160.95 first-day close would be the next level to watch.
Bear scenario: a close below $146.03, then below $143.49, would break the lower part of the September range. The 50-day SMA at $138.14 and the $135.00 IPO price would be the levels to watch.
Neutral scenario: continued closes between $146 and $151 would extend the sideways pattern. Volume at 0.58 times average suggests that neither side has strong conviction.

Trading Takeaway

SPCX is range-bound. The stock failed to hold an early gain, closed in the lower part of its range and traded on below-average volume. The short-term averages cluster between 148.47 and 149.80, and RSI-14 is neutral at 51.63. Nothing in the data shows a decisive break in either direction.

For the next session, the key upside levels are $150.86 and $153.78. The key downside levels are $146.03 and $145.47. A move outside the $143.49 to $154.81 September range would be a more meaningful signal than movement inside it.
