Firefly Aerospace (FLY) Price Forecast: Double Bottom Signals Potential Trend Reversal

Post-IPO Decline May Have Ended

Firefly Aerospace Inc. (FLY) is a commercial space company building launch vehicles, lunar delivery systems, and in-space services. Following the company’s IPO in August 2025 its stock quickly hit a high of $73.80 on the first day of trading before trending down for 15 weeks. Eventually, a low of $16.00 was established and followed by a sharp seven-week bullish advance. A lower swing high was then generated at $34.37, leading to a bearish retracement of the prior advance and a higher swing low of $18.11 in March. Together, those two lows established a large double bottom pattern that triggered to the upside five weeks ago, potentially marking the end of the prolonged post-IPO decline.

Volume Expands Following Breakout

Once buyers returned after the second bottom of $18.11 was established in March, volume improved noticeably, peaking during the breakout week above $34.37. That showed improving demand and helped validate the sharp rise in price, while suggesting that strong bullish momentum may return following the recent correction. After the bullish continuation signal triggered on the rise above $34.37, FLY hit a high of $46.30 later in April before entering its first pullback following what may prove to be a significant breakout.

The pullback successfully tested support near the prior resistance zone from January and completed a 50% retracement of the prior upswing. Last week, a one-week bullish reversal triggered above the prior week’s high, with strength confirmed by a strong close near the high of the week’s range. Weekly volume spiked to a three-week high, showing improving buyer interest in the stock.

Earnings Volatility Leaves Key Support in Focus

This recovery follows the company’s Q1 2026 earnings release. The initial market response reflected uncertainty, as can be seen by the wide bearish trading range established that day. It remains to be seen whether FLY is ready to resume its uptrend soon or whether a further retracement occurs first. However, the stock continues to show constructive behavior following the double bottom breakout that reversed its lengthy post-IPO decline. The higher swing low of $31.24 marks a key support zone as a violation of structure would occur on a drop below that low.
