🧭 A Strategic Shakeup in Space: Golden Dome Fractures the Launch Monopoly

Reuters just dropped a bombshell: the Trump administration is formally seeking alternatives to SpaceX for the $175B Golden Dome missile defense system. This pivot away from a Musk-dominated ecosystem is more than political friction; it’s a strategic rebalancing of U.S. space defense capability. Rocket Lab ($RKLB) and Stoke Space have emerged as front-runners in this second-wave bidding war, with Pentagon outreach now extending to Amazon’s Project Kuiper, Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, and Northrop Grumman. It’s a rare, asymmetric opening in a sector long monopolized by giants.

📈 From Froth to Formation: Technicals Suggest a Textbook Pullback, Not a Breakdown

Despite a 10–15% retracement from the recent $53.44 high, $RKLB remains firmly in Weinstein’s Stage 2 uptrend. Price action respects the rising 30-week MA, and the 8 EMA continues to act as dynamic support. Indicators are aligned: RSI remains in bullish territory, and MACD is still positive with no signs of a bearish crossover. The fib retracement zone from $39.41 (0.236) down to $32.65 (0.382) aligns with key EMAs and historical demand; this is not a breakdown, it’s the clearing of overhead supply. Volume patterns suggest institutional accumulation rather than distribution.

🧪 Political Volatility Meets Aerospace Optionality: Reading Between the Policy Lines

The timing of the announcement is crucial. With Trump’s “Golden Dome” strategy accelerating ahead of the 2026 cycle and tensions reportedly rising between Musk and Pentagon leadership, the door has opened for Rocket Lab to secure mission-critical contracts. The real advantage lies in Rocket Lab’s speed-to-deploy model, vertically integrated platform, and lower orbit specialization, making it uniquely suited to defense payloads that require frequency, not scale. While the market reacted with near-term uncertainty, this long-tail catalyst remains underappreciated.

🔍 Risk Meets Reward: Positioning for Strategic Optionality

From a valuation lens, $RKLB is speculative; forward EPS still sits at -0.397 and ROE at -45.38%. But with a $22.3B market cap and a $175B total addressable opportunity emerging from Golden Dome, the optionality is colossal. If Rocket Lab even secures a slice of the launch architecture, it fundamentally alters the company’s growth curve. Given the current geopolitical push for redundancy in defense infrastructure, relying on one provider (SpaceX) is now seen as a systemic risk. That narrative shift is where institutional flows will eventually anchor.

🛰️ What to Watch: Fib Levels, Volume Confirmation, and Official Bidding News

The $45.56 level is a key short-term pivot. A sustained hold above that with increasing volume would confirm rotation out of weak hands and readiness for a trend continuation. If the pullback deepens, the $40.32 and $38.31 zones offer high-probability bounce levels. A clean reclaim of $50 with volume acceleration will likely signal the beginning of the next impulse leg. Also critical: watch for headlines around formal bidding invitations or confirmed contracts; these are the triggers that could send $RKLB decisively through $60 and into price discovery.
