Will the stock price break below 135 on next Friday's options expiration date?

Next Friday marks a critically important options expiration date in July. Ahead of this, large institutional longs—seeking to avoid being buried alive by the massive wave of lock-up expirations following the August 6 earnings report—will initiate a major-scale, front-running selloff before next Friday. As bullish sentiment completely collapses, panic-driven traders will aggressively buy put options at the 135–140 strike range. To maintain delta-neutral books, options market makers will be forced to mechanically and indiscriminately dump SPCX shares in the secondary market like robots. This selling pressure will directly trigger an accelerating free-fall in the stock price by mid-next week, ruthlessly crushing through the psychological 140 level. SPCX will approach its official IPO price of 135 in the most humiliating fashion—coming infinitely close to, or even briefly piercing it intraday! The entire trading range for next week will shift downward from the 150-era regime into a new 135–143 zone. Retail investors who mocked my forecasts as far-fetched—your real pain has only just begun.
