Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPCE) shares surged Monday as traders piled into the space tourism stock following a major move late last week. SPCE closed up 36.42% at $6.18 on Friday, then continued higher in Monday premarket trading. The rally comes as broader investor excitement around space stocks has been fueled in part by ongoing SpaceX IPO speculation. A new Schedule 13G filed with the SEC showed Huang Rich and RichRich Capital LLC disclosed a substantial position in Virgin Galactic. Huang may be deemed to beneficially own 5,580,600 shares, representing a 5.26% stake, including shares underlying call options. The stock also gained momentum after a federal court granted preliminary approval of a settlement resolving two longstanding shareholder derivative lawsuits. The deal requires a $2.75 million payment from Virgin Galactic’s insurers to the company. Technically, SPCE is trading far above its moving averages, with an RSI of 86.78, placing the stock deep in overbought territory. Key levels to watch include resistance around $7.33 and support near the prior 52-week high of $6.61.
