HaiKhuu Daily Report - 02/25/2025
Good morning, and happy Tuesday! Oh boy, markets are not looking good in any way, shape, or form right now. $SPY is down, BTC is tanking, and traders are starting to get scared. There is a lot of uncertainty in the markets right now, with a couple of major events coming up in the near future. The three major events that are coming up are $NVDA earnings after-hours tomorrow, major economic news pre-market on Friday, and the FTX SOL payout.
This will be a difficult day to navigate, but we will be provided opportunities to attempt to buy a dip. Remain solvent, practice safe risk management, and make wise decisions. Many gains and losses will be generated today, so do what you can to maximize your profit potential. I do not think there is a reason to remain passive, but I do not believe there’s enough confidence in the markets right now to be overly aggressive.
Be smart, be safe, and tread lightly in these market conditions.
Good luck trading today, and let’s see where the markets take us!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Resistance: $604.86
Baseline Resistance: $601.86
Psychological Resistance: $600
Daily Cloud Support: $580
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 02/24/2025
Yesterday was a disgusting day for the markets. Bears could have made money, and bulls could have made money, but the large majority of traders had a difficult time. If you were able to come out of yesterday unscathed, consider that a massive win, and if you were profitable yesterday, congratulations, as you are one of the very few who did.
So, we started the day with $SPY looking relatively alright, opening the day at $601.98. Conditions were strong as $SPY recovered nicely over the weekend, but it was extremely short-lived. Right after opening, we watched as $SPY started a bearish trend and continually sold off for the first half hour or so of the day. We watched as $SPY made the official low of the day at $596.50. Conditions were tough as $SPY was in free fall, but thankfully at the bottom, we did bounce back up to chop around that $600 magnet zone leading into lunch, going green again for the day, and kind of hovered around there until the back half of the afternoon. That is when things started to get sketchy again.
We watched as $SPY started to drop around 2 pm EST and continued to fall down in the process, making trading extremely difficult to do with confidence.
Market conditions leading into the close were rough. Markets continued to drop, and traders were scared for the final two hours of the day, with the jump scare happening within the final ten minutes. $SPY went from $599.30 to quickly test the low of the day, straight up nose-diving, and we ended the day officially with $SPY trading at $597.21, down $2.73 for the day, or down roughly 0.5%.
I will say that it was an extremely tough day for the overall markets, but traders could have very easily realized a significant amount of gains in the process, and I hope you all were able to survive. I hope you all had a wonderful time, but I know that, in reality, that is not the case, as most traders unfortunately generated unrealized losses in the process. But again, it is simply just life and the markets. We take things how they are, make smart investments, and have an amazing time. So, let’s see where the markets take us today and have some fun!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 02/25/2025
Today is going to be a tough day for the overall markets. With the way that things are looking right now, we are seeing weakness across the board coming from BTC, economic news, and general market sentiment. There is still the opportunity to watch as the markets bounce beautifully from the bottom, but at the same time, with the way the markets are moving, we should be concerned and tread extremely lightly.
Yes, there is a chance that this is the “buy the dip” opportunity that we have been waiting for over the previous couple of days, but at the same time, I do not believe that we have reached the bottom just yet. If you are attempting to buy the dip, this is not a bad time to start, but I would only recommend that you attempt to scale in slowly by getting into a starter position now. Add to the position when you have confidence, and let the position continue to roll and grow. You should not be too aggressive in these conditions as that will ultimately wipe you out, but at the same time, do not be passive as you will be left in the dust.
The riskier plays to look into are the mega-cap tech stocks like $NVDA, $MSFT, and $AAPL, but I feel that this is relatively “easier” as an allocation as the large majority of traders are looking to allocate into these organizations. If you are looking to allocate in these conditions, my recommendation is to attempt to purchase a “hidden gem” that is a fundamentally solid organization but has had some operational difficulty over the previous couple of weeks or months. These organizations are not as forward-facing but provide us with some amazing opportunities to allocate. Think about $INTC. I was constantly calling it at $19 when people did not have confidence, and we watched it rip up to $27. Those are the plays that are the hidden gems in the markets.
But just continue to protect your bottom line. I was talking about this for the longest while, and we needed to see some bloodshed in the markets after the movement up we saw the other day. Man, oh man, did that call-out work out perfectly. The losses generated over the previous couple of days have been unfortunate. But those who have listened to our warnings should have had a phenomenal time and should be prepared to allocate and trade now.
For my personal allocations, I will say that I do not intend to be overly aggressive in these market conditions. With the way that $SPY is looking and the weakness that is coming to light from crypto, I just do not feel comfortable being overallocated in these conditions. I will allocate and scalp on an intraday basis while holding my long positions, but I will say there is zero shot, and I will be overly aggressive. I’ll have some fun and allocate time to the markets, but do not expect a bunch of 0-DTE gambles coming today!
If I see any opportunities, or if I decide to get into any other plays, I’ll announce what I see in the HaiKhuu Discord.

Wrap up
Hopefully, markets bounce from here, but it will just be interesting to see where the markets take us. Hopefully, we will see some beautiful bullish momentum and watch as $SPY makes a full recovery, but with the way everything is looking, please just continue to tread lightly, practice risk management, and watch for conditions to get better. Do not do anything overly aggressive in these conditions, and just have some fun in the process.
Good luck trading, and let’s see where $SPY goes!
