SPCZ contracts are nearing an 86% short ratio, and SpaceX is just three days away from its IPO, with whales casting their votes with their wallets.
Among the seven whales opening positions worth millions on Hyperliquid today, six are going short.
This isn't just retail sentiment; it's a serious financial stance backed by real cash. Currently, the top four positions in SPCZ contracts are all shorts, with two new entries crashing straight into first and second place on the leaderboard. The bearish expectations are highly concentrated.
What's the issue?
The market is trading at a price of $1.85 trillion, while SpaceX's IPO is pegged at a $2 trillion valuation. The current price of over $150 corresponds to nearly $12 billion in diluted equity, and the big players are calculating this very clearly. Today, the contract trading volume exceeded $100 million, indicating a fierce pricing battle.
Only three days until the IPO.
This time window is the real critical point. The price discovery function on the derivatives side is kicking in, and the shorts are expressing their stance with their positions: this valuation isn’t cheap. If the spot market can’t maintain stability post-IPO, the high concentration of short positions will create a self-reinforcing pressure.
The outlook is bearish, at least in the initial phase post-IPO.
What to closely monitor is the change in open interest for SPCZ contracts after the IPO. If the shorts don’t close their positions immediately post-listing and instead double down, the betting logic shifts from ‘valuation divergence’ to ‘trend shorting’. The key to triggering the reversal is whether there’s an influx of ETF or passive funds to absorb the selling pressure on the listing day; if there is, this concentrated short position could turn into a short squeeze fuel.
