SpaceX stock (NASDAQ: SPCX) closed at a fresh all-time low of $119.85 on July 20, extending a seven-session losing streak that has now erased roughly 45% of the stock’s value since its June peak, according to Yahoo Finance.
SPCX reached $119.85 after technical uncertainty, lock-up risk, and broader technology-stock deleveraging weighed on sentiment at the same time. The move also shows how quickly the market can reprice the SpaceX valuation. This is a dated market snapshot, not a live price quote.
Market update, July 21, 2026: Pionex’s SPCX_USDT_PERP 24-hour ticker showed a price of $121.80, a high of $126.46, and a low of $119.79 at 10:35 UTC. SPCX_USDT_PERP is a USDT-denominated tokenized stock perpetual futures market, so its quote can differ from the underlying NASDAQ share price.

The numbers
| Metric | Value |
| Close, July 20 | $119.85 |
| Change | -3.34% |
| Losing streak | 7 sessions |
| Cumulative 7-day drop | -20% |
| All-time high | $225.64 (June 16) |
| IPO opening price | $150 (June 12) |
| Decline from ATH | ~45% |
The intraday range that day was between $119.69 and $121.03, and the stock is now trading well below its IPO price. TradingView data shows the losing streak has pressed SPCX against the lower boundary of a descending channel that has guided the stock down since early July.
Why SPCX fell
Three factors are pressuring the stock: technical risk around the upcoming Starship Flight 13 test, the approaching expiration of the initial insider lock-up period, and broader deleveraging across global tech stocks. Together, they’ve pushed retail investors and short-term capital toward the exits.
Wall Street’s headline view has stayed largely bullish through the slide, with 27 of 31 analysts rating SPCX a Buy or Strong Buy and an average price target of $242. That gap between sentiment and price action is part of what’s making this decline notable.
Who was buying during the decline
ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood has continued adding to her SpaceX position throughout the decline, buying through several of her funds since before the June listing. Her firm bought roughly 147,805 SpaceX shares worth more than $18 million on July 17 alone. Her team’s thesis is that the market has undervalued SpaceX’s potential in orbital data centers and edge computing following its merger with xAI.
What traders are watching next
Attention now turns to Tesla’s Q2 earnings, due after markets close on July 22, given the overlap in investor base and sentiment between the two Musk-linked stocks. SpaceX’s own first earnings report as a public company is also on the horizon, alongside the insider lock-up expiration. Both are potential volatility triggers.
Trading SPCX through the volatility
For traders who want to monitor the volatility without trying to call the bottom, Pionex lists the USDT-denominated SPCX perpetual futures market. The contract can be traded manually or with a Futures Grid Bot, but no strategy guarantees profit. Funding rates, leverage, and liquidation risk still apply.
