HaiKhuu Daily Report - 04/14/2025
Good morning, and happy Monday!!! I hope you traders all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for today!!! Markets are up slightly during the pre-market session when writing this report. Conditions are still far from ideal, but I believe opportunities will be easily spotted and frequently presented.
Regardless, I think that this is going to be a fun week. Please, just continue to tread lightly on these market conditions as I am still expecting to see general volatility and difficulties navigating these conditions, but assuming that conditions continue to strengthen, please, please, please, take advantage of the strength, realize some gains, and make up for the losses that were generated across the board.
Expect to see some significant irrational moves this week and prepare for volatility. It will be a fun time.
I will warn you all that earnings season has STARTED. Financials have cracked the tape, and we are rolling again! Please expect more irrational moves from some of your favorite organizations in the upcoming weeks.

Thoughts & Comments from Last Week
Last week was a choppy and difficult week to navigate. There was insane volatility, and we watched as records were smashed. Markets had some of the LARGEST intraday movements we’ve ever seen on record. $SPY, in the past six trading days, has made FIVE record-breaking “largest intraday moves.” These conditions are sketchy and difficult to navigate, but thankfully, opportunities were consistently presented to us to realize some gains! So, hopefully, you all took advantage of last week and are ready for this week!!!
So, we started last week with $SPY trading at $489.13. Market conditions were great, and we were provided with opportunities across the board to allocate. We watched as the markets moved up beautifully throughout Monday, having multiple scam movements in the process, including statements about the tariffs, causing $SPY to quickly rip and hit $523 before coming back down. In the process of doing that, $SPY created the largest intraday bearish movement ever incurred despite market conditions not changing heavily. $SPY only moved up a fraction of a percent on an intraday basis but was still a large movement regardless.
This was followed on Thursday with the second largest bearish movement ever incurred, as $SPY went from gapping up overnight and opening at $521 to making the low of the day at $489 and ending the day at $496.
The day that everyone wants me to talk about right now is Wednesday. Conditions were disgusting, but somehow, we watched as it created the largest intraday movement ever recorded. So, we started the day with $SPY opening at $493. Conditions were not ideal, dropping slightly throughout the day, but we watched as $SPY slowly recovered, going on to test $500 and move up slightly, before Trump made a singular comment about the tariffs, stating he was going to increase the Chinese tariffs, while postponing all agreements for 90 days, essentially kicking the can down the road. As a result of this, $SPY went on to rip into close, moving irrationally during that time, and went on to close the day at the official high of the week at $548.62.
Afterward, as bad and weird as this sounds, the markets did not really move much, but we did create another record day, with $SPY taking over the fourth largest intraday movement, with $SPY diving in the process. There was a $24 range on an intraday on Thursday and a $16 day on Friday.
We officially ended the week with $SPY trading at $533.94, up $45 for the week, or up north of 9%.
What I can say about last week, is despite the confusion and choppy irrational market conditions, it was extremely easy to capitalize on the strength in the markets. Traders had a phenomenal time and were continually provided opportunities to trade and realize some gains. It was a lot of fun attempting to trade last week, and many traders could have generated some life-changing money. The question is, were they life-changing losses or life-changing gains?
Regardless, it is simply life and the markets, so I hope you all are prepared for today and this week!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 04/14/2025
With the way that the markets are setting up today, I think that we are in for a treat and should prepare to have some fun. Obviously, anything can happen in these market conditions, and we are in a place where we can very easily rally or sell off. At the moment, markets do look bouncy and bullish, but that is when I am writing this report before economic news or traders wake up. That is just the unfortunate reality of the circumstance, but at the same time, opportunities will consistently present themselves in these conditions, so do what you can to maximize your profit potential.
I know I talk about this a lot, and this is like the eighth time I’ve brought it up during this report, but please make sure to practice safe risk management. If you are attempting to capitalize on a movement in the markets today, just remember that 0-dte contracts are exceptionally expensive and stupid costly if you fail to catch your movement. So, if you are attempting to trade some options today, please be careful and tread extremely lightly on a 0-DTE. You are better off attempting to purchase either shares in the organization or a slightly farther out contract so you are not at such a high expiration risk. Again, just my two cents.
However, I still believe that there is no reason why we should not attempt to capitalize on these conditions. We are starting to see the confirmation of a reversal towards the upside at this point, and conditions are looking great. Again, I am not attempting to justify these allocations or market conditions, nor recommend anyone to purchase an irrational amount. Still, at the same time, with the way the markets are trending, we should have absolutely zero problems finding opportunities.
Suppose you do not know what to do and you haven't been allocated to these market conditions. In that case, my recommendation for you is to just continue to tread lightly and continue purchasing in the markets as I have been saying today, tomorrow, and the inevitable future. Market conditions are going to remain less than ideal, but over time, assuming that you all are investing in fundamentally solid organizations that have future potential, you are completely fine. Continue to allocate accordingly and simply practice risk management.
Regardless, life simply moves on. It does not matter if you are up or down money in these market conditions. I hope that, again, you all are doing alright in these conditions, and if anyone is having a tough time mentally as a result of the markets, please seek professional help. As I have said before, these market conditions are less than ideal, and losses are getting stacked up across the board. So, if you are attempting to trade or capitalize on these conditions, again, just remember the opportunity cost of going all in on your 0-DTE option play. Accounts will be blown up, and hopefully, none of them are yours.
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, market conditions will continue to remain strong and provide us all with some insane opportunities to trade and realize some gains. I know that many of you are going to kill it today, so please, go on to attempt to maximize your profit potential, but at the same time, please be smart and rational and know that despite market conditions remaining relatively confused and weak, that you can do many things to capitalize on these conditions. Be smart, be safe, and tread lightly in these conditions!
Good luck trading, and let’s see where this week takes us!!!
