SpaceX inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 raises concerns: historical cases show frequent “sell-the-news” corrections after bullish catalysts

```htmlJinse Finance reports that SpaceX will officially be included in the Nasdaq 100 Index on July 7, becoming one of the fastest large IPOs to join the index in its history. However, historical data shows that inclusion in the index does not necessarily signal sustained price increases and, in some cases, marks a temporary peak. For example, Palantir Technologies was added to the Nasdaq 100 in December 2024, and its stock price peaked around the inclusion, then corrected by about 25% over the following weeks. Similarly, Strategy entered an adjustment cycle shortly after being included, with a significant pullback from its high point. Analysts point out that this phenomenon is typically caused by three factors: market expectations being realized ahead of time, passive fund buying having already been traded in advance, and sentiment reaching a short-term high prior to inclusion. If historical trends continue, SpaceX's short-term performance after joining the index may face volatility, rather than a unilateral rise.```
