Options trading on SpaceX shares remained active on Monday, with approximately 500,000 contracts changing hands by midday.
The volume sits slightly below the average recorded since the derivatives market opened, yet the directional bias remains heavily skewed toward bullish bets.
This pattern mirrors the early trading behavior seen in Tesla options, suggesting that investors are positioning for upside ahead of the company's transition to a fully public entity.
The steady flow comes just one day before SpaceX’s accelerated inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 index.
This index addition is expected to drive further institutional demand and potentially alter options pricing dynamics as passive funds adjust their holdings.
The inclusion serves as a critical liquidity event, bridging the gap between the initial options debut and the upcoming initial public offering.
