SpaceX Shares Hold Strong as Key Lock-Up Expiration Passes
SpaceX stock climbed Thursday despite a major lock-up expiration — a bullish signal that has sophisticated traders calling a bottom.

A key lock-up provision expired — the kind of event that usually sends a stock sliding as early investors rush for the exits — but SpaceX shares actually traded higher. That's the kind of price action that gets traders talking.
