Bullish for the Nasdaq
SpaceX Nasdaq-100 Inclusion Buying
Stable
Steady attention in Nasdaq 100 coverage, without a clear trend.
Updated 14 October 2026
The bullish argument: Index inclusion mechanics are creating near-term buying pressure as passive funds must purchase shares to maintain tracking of the Nasdaq-100, with sources citing Moderna's rally following its NDX inclusion as evidence of this mechanical support. The flow of passive capital rebalancing into newly included names provides temporary price support.
