HaiKhuu Daily Report - 04/16/2026
Good morning and happy Thursday! I hope you all are hyped and excited about market conditions today as $SPY is at a new all-time high, and is trading above $700 for the first time EVER! These market conditions look amazing, and hopefully, this strong bullish momentum only continues!
Please continue to remain optimistic yet skeptical in these market conditions, as $SPY only continues to strengthen despite the justification of this rally. We are now officially back in greed on the fear and greed index, meaning that within two weeks, we have gone from Extreme Fear to Greed. Isn’t it funny how quickly both markets and sentiment shift almost overnight?
I am happy that all of the traders here were able to capitalize on the opportunities, and hopefully, everyone was able to generate a significant amount of realized gains in the process. There have been millions of dollars generated in our community over the previous couple of weeks, so I hope you all got a slice of the pie and are ready for another interesting and exciting day for the markets!
Please just continue to tread lightly, practice risk management, and follow market conditions today, and just hope for the best, as this is going to be an amazing day!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $672.69
Baseline Support: $664.78
Psychological Support: $700
Daily Cloud Support: $680.12
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 04/15/2026
Yesterday was an absolutely WILD day for the markets as we watched as $SPY rallied and made a new all-time high. Market conditions were exceptionally strong, and anyone who simply held strong equities should have had an amazing time. Opportunities were consistently presented to us, and there was enough volatility and momentum for everyone to have an absolutely amazing time in the process. It’s always a great day when the markets make a new all-time high!
We started the day with $SPY opening slightly green, trading at $695.30, we watched as $SPY dropped quickly within the first couple of minutes of the trading day, quickly going on to make the official low of the day at $694.29, before starting to show signs of a reversal and potential. The markets moved up slightly from the bottom and watched as we continued to trend up, leading into the lunchtime lull.
During that time, market conditions were not crazy, but at least provided us with bullish momentum as $SPY moved up to test the previous all-time highs without any success.
After the lull, markets sold off slightly, where $SPY went on and tested $696 before absolutely breaking out. We rallied quickly from the bottom, displaying strength and confidence as $SPY went on to test the previous all-time high in the back half of the afternoon, breaking past the previous high, and going on to test $700 for the rest of the day.
We went on to make the official all-time high on $SPY trading at $700.28, and watched as we came back down slightly into close, officially ending the day trading at $699.94, up $5.50 for the day, or up roughly 0.8% overall.
What I will say about yesterday is that it was an absolutely amazing day for the markets. Anyone who simply held long exposure, anyone who rode the momentum, or anyone who was simply lucky enough to allocate properly, absolutely printed. Many community members in the Discord absolutely printed as they allocated properly and capitalized on the conditions. So, congrats once again to everyone who realized some gains yesterday!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 04/16/2026
Today is hopefully going to be another amazing day for the markets. We are above all of the previous levels of technical and psychological support, so this is the point where we start to throw all logic out the window and start being hyper bullish for no reason. I want to warn you all before I get too in-depth in this report, nothing here is financial advice, nor a signal to buy or sell anything. I don’t know where the markets are headed, nor do I claim to know with 100% confidence. We can easily come back down with any news or war update, so please tread lightly and practice basic risk management today. If you don’t practice BASIC risk management and end up losing your portfolio, that is on YOU. Trade these conditions at your own risk.
Okay, with that warning said, let’s talk about these market conditions.
As I said before, we are above all major levels of resistance, and conditions are only continuing to strengthen here in the short term. Traders should be optimistic leading into today, and hopefully, we will only continue to see strength in these market conditions. I am excited to see where the markets want to take us today, yet skeptical of these conditions.
We are back in greed on the fear and greed index, $SPY is above $700, and we’ve gotten a confirmation of a reversal from the bottom. The markets can easily continue to rally from here, but just note that any movement from this point is going to be extremely irrational and volatile. For the markets to continue to move up in a linear fashion, the dollar returns of the markets become exponential. The dollar movements we are seeing on an intraday basis now would be entire weeks of volatility in the past.
So just remember that when you are attempting to allocate at these levels, and say that these trading conditions suck. They don’t suck. This is one of the best times in history to attempt to participate in the markets; it might just be you and your positions that suck.
It is more difficult to allocate at this level with confidence. If you do not have any long exposure in these market conditions and are not confident in allocating at this point, please continue to look to scalp and day trade the short-term momentum in the markets. It is extremely difficult attempting to allocate long in the markets as everything is trending at all-time highs, but scalping strong organizations you believe in, while riding the market momentum, is going to be a great time.
Just remember, at this level, we are at a point of “irrationality” where conditions are going to become more difficult and more inconsistent. As long as you accept that and are ready for these market conditions, get excited, as we should hopefully only become more profitable as a result of this volatility. Just make sure to practice safe risk management and be diligent with your positions. This is gonna be a great day so let’s make the most of it and have an amazing time!
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
This is going to be another fun day for the general markets. Remain slightly skeptical of these conditions, but just remember that the markets are at an all-time high.

Good luck trading, and let’s see where $SPY takes us today!
