HaiKhuu Daily Report - 04/30/2025

Good morning, and happy Wednesday!!!! I hope you all are ready for what should be a fun and exciting day for the overall markets. Given the current market trends, conditions appear favorable, and traders should be optimistic.

As I have warned before, there is an extreme fall risk in the markets, mostly as we are trending at $SPY $550. Please be cautious, as there is a high likelihood that the markets will ultimately snap back down and test $550 again in the near future. Obviously, I hope that never happens and the markets only continue to naturally go up from this level, but regardless, it is simply just life and the markets; there is not much we can do about the volatility outside of navigating and capitalizing on it. 

This should be a lot of fun and provide us with some insane opportunities, but regardless, it is just life and the markets, so keep realizing gains and have a great time in the process! 

Good luck trading today, and let’s see where the markets take us! 

The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $531.96
Baseline Support: $529.11
Psychological Support: $550
Daily Cloud Support: $570.89

Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 04/29/2025

Yesterday was a rather slow and kinda interesting day for the markets. Not much happened, but a significant amount happened at the same time. $SPY did not move significantly or provide many opportunities to take advantage of, but at the same time, a substantial amount of strength was generated as $SPY maintained its position near the $550 resistance level. There were great opportunities to trade, but it was just a matter of catching the right momentum and timing.

So, we started the day with $SPY opening at $548.93. Market conditions were relatively weak going into open, despite looking beautiful during the pre-market session, and we watched as $SPY essentially rallied throughout the entire day.

$SPY went from $549 to $552 within the first hour, before quickly snapping back to hunt some stops at $550, before watching as $SPY continually moved and chopped around going into the lunchtime session. Markets did naturally move up while we were chopping, but quickly came down after the lunchtime lull. $SPY was trading just under $552 when we got some tariff news, resulting in the markets rallying extremely hard, going on to make the official high of the day, trading at $555.42.

The final two hours of the trading day, though, were almost impossible to trade and capitalize on, unless you were a premium seller, market maker, or were dumb and lucky at the same time. Markets dropped approximately $1 from the top, and provided general confusion and tougher conditions at the top.

We officially ended the day with $SPY trading at $554.32, up $3.50 for the day, or up roughly 0.6%. Again, I will say that yesterday was a rather confusing and difficult day for the markets, which wasn’t an overly bullish one. Most people will look at yesterday and say that was a wash of a day because the markets did not move up significantly, but I just want to remind you all about how significant yesterday was. With $SPY reaching relative highs, we observed that it essentially held the $550 resistance level for the entire day, which is a bullish confirmation at this price level. So, just a consideration in these market conditions!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 04/30/2025

Today and the rest of this week are going to be an extremely fun time, in my opinion. With the strength and opportunities in the markets, it would not surprise me if we continued to see opportunities brew with $SPY back above the $550 resistance, traders are less fearful, and are being more optimistic. As always, the markets can easily come down in a short period of time, but in reality, again, with the strength of these market conditions, we are in a place where there is going to be a significant amount of opportunity, volatility, and confusion. 

This is going to be kind of a big day for the markets, and confusing for the rest of the week. But let me explain. I have already brought this up before when going over the weekly report, but we have major earnings after-hours today from META and Microsoft. Both of those earnings are going to be massive, thus impacting the general market momentum today and tomorrow. BUT on top of this, there is a significant amount of confusion in the air as general sentiment at least early in the morning will be dictated more by GDP than it will be traders allocating as a result of earnings. 

What this means for us is that today is going to be tough and a little more confusing with GDP pre-market, and earnings after, thus impacting the market sentiment for tomorrow. If conditions are weak and not ideal here, then that is going to continue to be impactful not only today, but for the rest of the week, as the same way I have earnings sentiment today, is the same for tomorrow, with $AAPL and $AMZN earnings. 

I will not comment directly on any organization specifically stating which direction I believe they are headed, because that is a gamble, making a statement like that in general, as anything can truly happen between now and then. But again, in reality, with the strength in the markets, it is hard not to remain optimistic. Hope for the best, but be realistic with your expectations and capitalize on these market conditions accordingly.

Just make sure to practice safe risk management in these market conditions, though. If someone is attempting to trade choppy conditions, they might get slaughtered in the process, or even if they are attempting to allocate long into an organization right before earnings. That is the gamble that you will have to take as a trader or an investor, but at the same time, as long as you are practicing safe risk management, then it is not gambling, it is simply taking on a calculated risk, which yes in principle is a “gamble” but I would say that this is more so akin to playing a hand of poker, versus praying that a ball hits your number on roulette. 

Traders will have a great time though. Just remain optimistic, and continue to capitalize on these market conditions! 

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.
