FINAL SUMMARY
SpaceX (SPCX) search interest hit all-time highs as retail discovers the June IPO, with the stock rallying 9.4% to $125.33 on heavy volume, while Sandisk (SNDK) queries exploded +4,250% ahead of today's earnings report where consensus expects $34+ EPS. The short squeeze narrative has collapsed to near-zero search interest as retail rotates from speculative momentum plays to fundamental catalysts, though the Fed's hawkish repricing—now pricing 46.5% odds of a September rate hike—threatens to pressure both growth narratives simultaneously.
