$SPCX down 7% as nearly 2 billion shares unlock over the next six weeks
JOBhakdi · x · 2026-10-09
The author argues $SPCX's 7% weekly drop is driven by the unlock calendar: 328M shares unlock October 9, another 328M on October 24, and 1.3 billion more from late October into November — nearly 2 billion shares tradable in about six weeks. Each wave puts roughly 30–60M shares into the market as holders diversify. At the last unlock, selling started four hours before the prior day's close; this time it started two days early. The takeaway: "The unlock isn't the event anymore. The anticipation of it is. Watch the days before, not the day of."
