<p>SpaceX's IPO demand exceeded $250 billion against a $75 billion target, causing panic selling in major tech stocks like Alphabet, Oracle, and Microsoft as investors raised cash. While US-Iran tensions contributed to Nasdaq's drop, the primary driver is the risk asymmetry from SpaceX's oversubscription. This 'crowded trade' may lead to an initial price spike followed by a rapid decline if early allocators sell for gains, similar to Rivian's post-IPO performance.</p>

- SpaceX reportedly attracted over $250 billion in investor demand for its IPO, significantly exceeding the $75 billion sought.  
- The surge in demand created risk asymmetry in stock markets, contributing to a 2.2% drop in Nasdaq due to broader market tensions.  
- A quick sell-off of allocated shares by speculators at opening could lead to a rapid decline in SpaceX's stock price, reminiscent of past IPOs like Rivian.
