## Resource

With SpaceX launching a record-setting IPO and slashing retail allocation to the low 20% range, day traders face a unique liquidity squeeze on day one. Lucas and Luna break down the mechanics of the SpaceX retail allocation cut—how it affects order flow, opening price discovery, and the post-float volatility play. They use live market data from June 12, 2026, including the S&P 500 at 7,431 and the Russell 2000 up 3.1% for the week, to frame the broader small-cap tailwind. Lucas explains why a smaller retail tranche creates a short-term supply-demand mismatch that active traders can front-run, while Luna highlights the prediction market odds of a $2 trillion+ market cap debut. The episode drills into a concrete trade setup: how to use pre-market VWAP bands and level 2 data to gauge institutional interest versus retail frenzy, and why the VIX at 17.99 and VVIX at 95.91 signal heightened volatility-of-volatility risk for the debut. No overarching 'how to day trade IPOs' lecture—just a sharp case study on this specific allocation decision and its trading implications. #SpaceX #IPO #RetailAllocation #DayTrading #VWAP #Level2 #Volatility #VIX #VVIX #Russell2000 #PredictionMarkets #Liquidity #OrderFlow #PriceDiscovery #Finance #Investing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
