What Happened With RKLB Stock?

Rocket Lab (RKLB) surged over 10% on massive volume, officially catalyzed by news that its 'Hungry Hippo' cargo fairing for the next-gen Neutron rocket passed final testing, alongside securing new funding from the Canadian Space Agency.

What Next?

FOLLOW. The move is underpinned by a significant operational milestone for the Neutron rocket, which is the cornerstone of the long-term bull thesis. The high volume and institutional positioning suggest this is not a transitory, headline-driven pop. Watch the $75 level next. This is a key psychological resistance and the consensus price target for several bullish analysts. [1, 10, 11] A sustained break above this level would signal a new phase of institutional acceptance and could trigger a more significant valuation re-rate as the Neutron launch moves closer to reality.
