Space Sector Post-IPO Reality Check: Patience, VPA, and the Musk Miracle Good morning, traders and space enthusiasts. It's Monday, June 15, 2026, and the Nasdaq futures (NQ) are gapping up hard—up over 2% as I type this—on positive headlines around a US-Iran peace deal and broader optimism under the Trump administration. Markets love narrative shifts, and today’s melt-up reminds us how quickly sentiment can swing. But with the dust settling on SpaceX’s massive IPO and concurrent Starlink launch last week, it’s time for a sober look at the entire space sector. Hype is fading; fundamentals and price action will rule. SpaceX went public on June 12 as SPCX, launching 29 Starlink satellites the same day from Cape Canaveral.

https://youtu.be/RETAqUrZc74 The Volume Point of Control Confirmed It All! The Volume Point of Control (VPOC) often confirms it all in trading sessions. It marks the price level with the highest traded volume. This acts as "fair value". Price gravitates here. Breaks or bounces reveal market intent. Another session for day trading the US indices where patience and more patience was required, but as always it’s volume spread analysis coupled with the Quantum Trading tools and indicators which helps to keep us safe and stop us from jumping in and then regretting this decision. The volatility indicator was once again much in evidence as indeed was the accumulation and distribution indicator for NinjaTrader, helping to define those key levels of price support and resistance which are so important.
