HaiKhuu Daily Report - 02/26/2026
Good morning and happy Thursday! Wow, I don’t know where this week has gone, but man, has this been an amazing time! Markets are down ever so slightly at the time of writing this report after an extremely confusing $NVDA earnings. $NVDA beat all expectations for earnings, which is a great sign and continues to double down on AI spending. The organization did not move up much on earnings, but sentiment has to be stronger, as people are becoming increasingly comfortable and confident in the short term.
It is unfortunate that we did not rip and rally on earnings, but I would rather an inkling of green coming out of $NVDA versus a whole lot of blood.
So hopefully you all were able to come out of $NVDA earnings unscathed, as anyone who attempted to purchase option contracts prior is most likely going to get burned by IV crush.
We will see what happens with the rest of the markets now, but I know that at least I am extremely excited to see where the markets take us today.
We’ve broken above all of the previous major resistance levels on $SPY, we are displaying strength and confidence, and honestly, I think that is all we need to be able to have a great time. As long as the markets continue to maintain this momentum, hopefully, we will be able to break out and make a new all-time high.
Obviously, you should minimize risk where possible, but look to maximize your potential as these market conditions only continue to strengthen here in the short term, so let’s have some fun, realize some gains, and make the most out of today!
I’ll talk more about my general market sentiment later on in the full report!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $685.57
Baseline Support: $686.81
Psychological Support: $680
Daily Cloud Support: $687.35
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 02/25/2026
Yesterday was a beautiful day of slow bullish momentum. Anyone who attempted to buy the dip, hold the momentum, and ride the wave should have had a great time as $SPY broke above major resistance on the daily and continued to break out!
We started the day with markets looking beautiful as $SPY gapped up, and we opened the day above the daily technical resistance, broke above the $690 psychological resistance and displayed bullish signs throughout the entire day.
The official low of the day happened around open where we sold off and hit $690.16, and that was it for the bears.
The markets moved up after open, but sold off slightly leading into the lunchtime lull, kinda just chopping around and confusing people. Thankfully we showed significantly more strength leading into the afternoon as $SPY broke out and we continued to slowly trend up throughout the entire afternoon, going on to continually make new highs of the day.
We slow trended into close where $SPY did go on and make the official high of the day trading at $693.68, before officially ending the day trading at $693.15, up $6 for the day, or up roughly 0.8% overall.
So I am not saying that the previous couple of days have been absolutely perfect for us as these conditions have been difficult, but for those who are holding their positions, and holding them with confidence, it is almost hard not to be optimistic about where these conditions are taking us, and excited to see what the markets have in store for us today!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 02/26/2026
Today will be a lot of fun, mostly with the way that the markets are setting up. Thankfully, we did not crash during the $NVDA earnings, which means that uncertainty is down, volatility should decrease, and as a result of that, the markets should move up. If they do or not, that is going to be a different question, but with the current state of the markets, I would love to see a continuation of this strong and confident market momentum.
In my perfect world, we will watch as $SPY continues to slowly rally at this level, and display more and more strength and confidence throughout the day to both maintain the level and continue to build confidence. I do not want the markets to rip irrationally, as an irrational movement up will be snapped right back down, but a consistent movement up with a trend, and buying volume behind it, is the way to build confidence at these levels. So attempt to allocate when you are comfortable and confident, and enjoy life.
We are at the lower end of neutral right now on the fear and greed index, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I’ve brought this up before, where in the case we are in “neutral”, that can be a good sign, prospectively. Currently, the markets are less than 1% away from all-time highs, and we just broke out of fear. That means traders are uneasy and less than confident. After we moved up like $6, we are back in neutral, meaning that people are becoming more confident again.
Assuming that we continue to move up from here, that sentiment will shift more towards greed, and then, in the chance we catch some irrationality, we will be able to push into extreme greed, which is where $SPY is going to have the most volatile movements, and hopefully continue to print and rally from there. Obviously, this is all general sentiment reads, and is not a forward prediction of the markets, so continue to tread lightly on these market conditions and remain rational with the way that you are attempting to allocate.
As the markets continue to move up, it becomes riskier attempting to allocate at the top. It is not necessarily a bad time if you are paying a premium to enter into a scalp or daytrade; it is just difficult when the markets are overpriced, and we have to prepare accordingly for our long allocations, because paying a premium to enter into an overpriced equity is going to be a tough time when everything corrects. So, mitigate dumb risk while attempting to trade today, but just remember that this is the time that you should be making sure to maximize your exposure and increase your risk profile.
There is a big difference between when I recommend safety and when I recommend taking on less risk. Safety is making sure that you are not trading, holding a majority of cash, and everything like that, as we expect something major to happen in the short term. Decreasing risk means taking on fewer dumb plays. If you are looking at playing $NVDA after the earnings, and believe it is going to move accordingly, have fun and leverage yourself with shares, that is increasing your potential, while other people are going to be looking to grab some extremely OTM weekly option contracts and pray that they hit.
It is very clear there is a difference between the sentiments. I am not saying that we all need to withdraw all of our money from our accounts, nor am I saying that we need to make irrational plays and lack basic risk management, but be smart in these levels, and do everything that you can to maximize the return you can get in the short term, while minimizing the risk and exposure you are taking on to achieve that return. Because again, these conditions, you will see the largest wins and losses in the shortest amount of time.
Tread lightly, and practice safe risk management 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.
