SpaceX’s Nasdaq-100 Debut Could Turbocharge Options Activity
TL;DR Summary
SpaceX’s upcoming Nasdaq-100 inclusion is likely to lift options pricing for both the stock and the index, with about 1% weighting in QQQ and a high implied volatility around 92 (roughly 3.5x QQQ). Traders have been bullish on SpaceX options, evident in heavy call volumes—top contracts included a 450-strike call for July 17 and an 180-strike call expiring Friday—as hedges and speculative bets ride on SpaceX’s volatility. The index impact should be modest due to float restrictions, but passive buyers and hedging could keep demand for options elevated. SpaceX traded near $160 after a recent dip.
