HaiKhuu Daily Report - 04/28/2026
Good morning and happy happy Tuesday! Wow, markets went on and made a new all-time high, traders are optimistic, and these market conditions are volatile! I hope you all have had a wonderful time in these market conditions and are ready for another day of extreme confusion and volatility!
Markets are down ever so slightly at the time of writing this report; $SPY is down roughly 0.2%, so thankfully, nothing of any major concern.
Lots of traders are preparing accordingly, though, for a massive increase in volatility. Looking at the events coming up for this week, we have a significant amount of earnings and economic news that you should all prepare for. Many major organizations have earnings that will, in turn, heavily impact the markets. If you are actively attempting to allocate in the markets, tread lightly.
Actively trading in the markets is difficult right now, but in reality, the only thing harder than allocating long and holding at this point is attempting to scalp neutrality & chop. So please, tread lightly in these market conditions and prepare accordingly for inconsistent market conditions. Even the best of traders are going to struggle to remain consistent in these conditions.
Make the most out of these conditions, but understand the realities too. Practice safe risk management and have an amazing time.
Good luck trading today, and let’s hope $SPY breaks out!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $704.91
Baseline Support: $672.45
Psychological Support: $700
Daily Cloud Support: $676.50
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 04/27/2026
Yesterday was an insane day for the general markets. Conditions were slow, gross, and extremely neutral, yet we watched as $SPY went on and made new all-time highs. Traders had difficulties actively trading on an intraday basis, but anyone and everyone could have realized some gains yesterday. Hopefully, you all were able to have some fun and print some cash, but I know that it was difficult, so congrats to anyone who printed with us yesterday! :)
We started yesterday with $SPY opening ever so slightly red, opening the day at $713.13. Market conditions were less than ideal as we watched as $SPY chopp[ed around for the entire morning. We watched as we remained with essentially a $1 range throughout the entire morning, and watched as $SPY went on and sold off to make the official low of the day, trading at $712.31.
Market conditions leading into the lunchtime lull were less than ideal, and traders really did not have any great opportunities to allocate, but the reversal from the bottom was an absolutely amazing entry. Markets only went up from the beginning of the lull, but moved up in an extremely slow and inconsistent way. We pushed throughout the entire lull into the early afternoon, where $SPY went on to make a new all-time high, and continued to slowly make new all-time highs throughout the entire morning, and went on to push throughout the entire afternoon, making the official high of the day and all-time high trading at $715.61, before coming back down to officially end the day trading at $715.17.
Everything was great for the markets as again, we went on and made a new all-time high, but at the same time, we really only had a $3~ intraday movement from the top to the bottom. There really was not much momentum or opportunity to actively scalp and trade the same way we’ve seen previously. The momentum was alright, but the dollar movement was lackluster. But regardless of the market conditions, we attempted to warn everyone about the neutrality of the markets. Hopefully, everyone listened and was able to capitalize on the volatility of single-name stocks. We had many organizations rip new all-time highs and absolutely print in the process. So congrats to anyone who was able to realize a significant amount of gains while attempting to trade yesterday, and are ready for the market conditions today!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 04/28/2026
Today seems like it is going to be a continuation of the difficulties we’ve seen over the previous couple of days in the markets. As bad as this sounds, I genuinely do believe that these market conditions are going to continue to be difficult to navigate, and the majority of traders who attempt to allocate today will have a tough time remaining consistent. This is not an attack on anyone’s ability to trade, but due to the lack of momentum and chop in the markets, even some of the most experienced traders will continue to have difficulties remaining consistent. Please, be smart at this time, do not overleverage yourself, and tread extremely lightly.
These market conditions are phenomenal as $SPY is at a point of irrationality in its pricing, and everyone this year has had opportunities to trade and realize a significant amount of gains in an extremely quick period of time, but now it is a matter of remaining solvent while the markets remain irrational. Traders are going to have a tough time actively capitalizing on the short-term momentum, but this is where you have to make the most out of the opportunities presented to us.
Attempting to trade indexes and 0-DTE contracts in these market conditions is going to be extremely inconsistent due to a lack of momentum, chop, and, for the 0-DTE traders, theta burn, so my continued recommendation to everyone is to stay away from attempting to trade any of these products. Indexes are going to be difficult to capitalize on unless there is a directional move, and 0-DTE’s will only work out in short-term scalps.
Please, tread lightly and look to trade single-name stocks today. Look for organizations with both momentum and volume. Look to follow the trend and ride the momentum. This is easier said than done, but also easily accomplished.
One warning I will have for you all is the false confidence we are going to continue to see as traders are actively “losing” as the markets keep making new all-time highs. As the markets continue to trend higher and higher, new all-time highs will continually be hit, but the markets are not going to rally in an irrational way to nail a new all-time high, most likely at this point, we will continue to see new all-time high kisses, where an index will go on and make a new all-time high, beat that previous point by $0.10-0.25-0.50, and then inevitably come back down, sell off, only to break out once again in the future to make a new all-time high in the same manner again. This is going to be tough as the markets seem to only continue to trend up, despite slicing traders on the way back down.
As I’ve said before, single-name stocks are going to be the “safest” allocation in the markets. Not because they are necessarily “safe”, but because there will be more directional volatility you can capitalize on, meaning you are going to be able to chart and utilize technical analysis easier, resulting in you being able to trade momentum with more confidence. As long as you are following a trend, which will be easier to spot while trading, you will know when the strong points of entry are, and when to exit accordingly.
One play that I’ve been loving in these conditions is the “Neutrality Breaker”. Essentially, when the markets or an organization have been in short-term neutrality, we will see a lot of chop and a lack of momentum. This is obviously not ideal, and is the reason why the large majority of traders are going to lose. Once that chop is over, and we start to see the larger picture, it will be relatively “easy” to find direction and sentiment. Wait for a confirmation of a breakout or a sell-off after the neutrality, and look to play the direction. Again, this is easier said than done, but easily executable in the short term.
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 a difficult day for the markets. I don’t want to be overly bullish or bearish, and genuinely think that the large majority of traders are going to have a tough time trading today due to the inconsistencies of the markets and the “risks” associated with attempting to trade in these conditions. Please, tread lightly, practice safe risk management, and have an amazing time in the process!
Good luck trading, and let’s see where the markets take us today!
