How we’re preparing for SPCX crash

Dear Traders,

A lot of news and macro-economic events took place in the past week.

Warfare between US and Iran took over the headlines again, causing oil futures to surge while equities fall harder. A sell-off in chipmakers gathered pace, driving the over-extended stocks to a bear market amid rising concerns that A.I. spending has far exceeded its returns.

SpaceX also gained investors’ attention as the stock has officially lost $1 Trillion in value since its IPO days. On Friday, our community spotted the A+ trade setup on SPCX driven by a negative news catalyst. The company aborted a launch of its Starship rocket due to an engine issue, and as a day trading community, we aligned the technical chart setup with its fundamental news to capture this sell-off down toward $120.

17K day shorting SPCX opening range breakdown from $126 to $122.
$120 was a huge liquidity magnet we saw on Market Atlas DOM, giving us a realistic price target as we were shorting SPCX.

This kind of setups happens every day. In our community, we focus on how to identify the daily stocks in-play so that we can capture the best moves within the market open hour. If you want to day trade for a living, trading the right stocks for 1 to 2 hours a day is the way to go.

I made a detailed YouTube video to recap how we analyzed SPCX, planned for the trade, and executed in real-time. A key learning point in this video is the way we combine the technical chart pattern with Market Atlas and the fundamental news.

In case you missed this news, another major event happening this month is that CME Group will launch Single Stock Futures on July 27.

The new contracts will include many of the world’s most actively traded companies, including names such as Apple, NVIDIA, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Google, and SpaceX, among many others.

This is an exciting development because it allows traders to access individual stocks through the futures market while benefiting from:

 

  • Lower capital requirements through futures margin
  • Nearly 24-hour trading
  • Cash-settled contracts
  • A centralized order book that’s ideal for Market Atlas
  • Potential tax advantages depending on your jurisdiction (always consult your tax advisor)


For traders who want exposure to leading technology companies without committing the full capital required to purchase shares outright, these new products create an entirely new set of opportunities.

Market Atlas Is Built for This

Whether you’re trading equities, index futures, or the upcoming single stock futures, Market Atlas was designed around one idea: follow liquidity.

The ability to identify large institutional orders, monitor the depth of market, and understand where buyers and sellers are positioned gives traders an edge that simply isn’t available from traditional charts alone.

As our futures coverage continues to expand, Market Atlas becomes even more valuable as your primary trading tool.

Current monthly members paying $99 per month can also upgrade to the annual plan to unlock futures access and take advantage of all of our futures tools, education, and live trading coverage. (Check below for upgrade instructions if you’re an existing user)

I look forward to seeing many of you in the chatroom as we begin trading this exciting new chapter together.

Let’s get ready for the markets,
