$Intuitive Machines(LUNR)$ $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ $Spire Global Inc.(SPIR)$ 🚀🌑📈 INTUITIVE MACHINES: READY FOR LUNAR LIFT-OFF 📈🌑🚀
Something rare is happening in the cosmos of small caps, and I’m zeroing in on it. Intuitive Machines ($LUNR) just defied a bearish downgrade, posted a volume explosion, and is now retesting a breakout level with precision. When sentiment says no but price says go, I pay attention.
📊 Technical Setup: Launchpad Engaged
$LUNR has cracked key highs and is flagging just under the $12.50–$13 trigger zone, forming a textbook cup and handle. That’s not just bullish; it’s propulsion-grade bullish.
The 4H chart shows it flirting with resistance at $12.16 and eyeing a surge toward $13.11, $14.40, and potentially $15.70. Wave analysis aligns: we’ve likely completed wave 4 and just launched into wave 5 with a Fibonacci target at $15.89.
On the weekly, we’ve reclaimed the 5 and 10 moving averages and are curling up toward the 30MA at $12.82. RSI is lifting, MACD is turning, and volume surged at the open, always a precursor to velocity.
🎯 The Trigger Is Set
Hold $11.50 and this can ignite fast. The trigger sits between $12.50–$13. If that zone gets taken, I’ll be watching for acceleration into the $15 zone. Break that and we’ve got blue sky back to $20.05 and $22.40.
🧠 Fundamentals: Flawed but Forgivable?
This is where the story gets wild. Despite BofA slashing its target from $16 to $10.50 and stamping it with an “underperform,” $LUNR rallied.
Why?
Because the market isn’t buying the fear. $LUNR posted positive free cash flow in Q1 ($13.3M), and while management admitted it could be lumpy in Q2, the bigger picture is far more lunar than lumpy.
Yes, the balance sheet still shows red:
• EPS (TTM): -2.50
• P/B: -10.23
• ROE: -160.69%
But forward PE is improving at 59.51, and 2025 forecasts include:
• Revenue: $269.6M
• EPS: $0.20
• EBIT: -$26.42M
That’s not profit now, but it’s progress.
🏗️ Funded for the Future
LUNR just secured a Phase One grant alongside San Jacinto College and Rhodium Scientific to develop an Earth Reentry Program for space pharma payloads. That’s not science fiction; it’s government-backed orbital manufacturing. Add in their HQ expansion at Houston Spaceport, including a 16,500 sqft spacecraft facility and a new warehouse, and it’s clear they’re scaling fast.
🛰️ Contracts Galore: NASA + Beyond
• Multiple NASA lunar lander missions
• Near Space Network contract
• Reentry tech for semiconductors and biotech
• City-funded infrastructure growth in Houston
These aren’t dreams. They’re awarded, funded, and in-motion programmes. The firm’s workforce has already grown 130% since 2019, and they’re aligning with national security, civil space, and commercial demand.
🧬 Macro Tailwinds: Sector at Escape Velocity
The space economy is being re-rated. Between SpaceX’s influence, government R&D investment, and renewed geopolitical race-to-space dynamics, small-cap space plays are becoming strategic assets.
Volatility will remain; space is high capex, high burn, high risk. But in that chaos lives asymmetric upside.
💸 Capital Flows & Analyst Sentiment
• 5-day inflows into $LUNR show strong hands buying dips
• Analysts are split: 5 Buy, 2 Hold, 1 Underperform
• Price targets range from $10.50 to $21.50, with a mean of $14.875
So when BofA slashes targets and the stock rises, that’s smart money rotating in.
⚠️ Risks: Still a Penny in the Stars
• Lumpy cash flows remain a reality
• Dilution is always on the table in capex-heavy sectors
• Any mission delays or launch failures could crater sentiment
But I’m not looking for a stable dividend payer. I’m hunting for acceleration potential, and this chart screams ignition.
🔭 Strategy: My Game Plan
I’m watching $11.50 as the must-hold pivot. That’s my base. A clean move through $12.50–$13 unlocks $15 quickly, with potential for $17.50, then $20+ if sentiment runs hot.
If we roll over under $11.13, I’ll stay on the launch pad, but I won’t ignore the countdown.

- Tui Jude·07-18TOPAppreciate how you layered the wave count with the fib targets and paired it with the fundamentals. The Earth reentry narrative’s fascinating, especially when you consider how $SPIR’s pushing deeper into satellite data and atmospheric modeling. Between that and LUNR’s pharma payload angle, we’re probably looking at the early seeds of orbital biotech as a serious vertical.1Report

- Cool Cat Winston·07-18TOP🌌This cup and handle setup on $LUNR is textbook and I really like how you framed the BofA downgrade getting faded. That kind of price resilience under pressure reminds me of how $PLTR used to behave during its early contract runs. I’m especially drawn to that volume surge you pointed out at the open. If $LUNR clears that $12.50 level with confirmation, it’s hard not to see a sharp extension.2Report
- Hen Solo·07-18TOPYou nailed the asymmetric angle here. The spaceport expansion and Near Space contract show real intent to scale, and I wouldn’t be surprised if institutional rotation’s already started. Reminds me of how $RKLB began its multi-quarter ramp. Holding $11.50 is key, but that $15 handle could come quicker than most think if we see sustained inflow.1Report
