Rocket Lab Corp (NASDAQ:RKLB) stock marked a more than 20% pullback from its July 18, record close of $48.60 to last week's low of $38.26, the latter of which coincides with big put support in the weekly 8/29 expiration series as well as the 50-day moving average. With this technical setup in place, now looks like a good time to buy in on the dip. 


Short interest still accounts for 12% of the security’s available float, even though it has been slowly declining from all-time highs in May. With many shorts underwater, they could view this pullback as a covering opportunity and create additional tailwinds for RKLB.

It’s also worth noting that implied volatility (IV) ranks lower than 86% of readings from the past year. Our recommended call option has a leverage ratio of 4.1, and will double on a 26% rise in the underlying security.
