HaiKhuu Daily Report - 05/12/2026
Good morning and happy Tuesday! Markets are down ever so slightly, but we keep making new all-time highs???? Man, these market conditions are volatile, difficult to navigate, but are providing us with some absolutely insane opportunities to scalp, trade, and realize some gains!
I hope that you all are having a lot of fun in these market conditions and are genuinely making some life-changing gains! Opportunities have been consistently presented to us during this time, and traders are genuinely in a state of excitement. As I have continued to warn, please remain a skittish bull and tread extremely lightly on these market conditions.
Trades are going to continue to be difficult to navigate in real time, but as I’ve said before, opportunities are consistently amongst us. Make sure to practice safe risk management, but genuinely do everything that you can to maximize your profit potential at this time. One of these days, market momentum is not going to be as favorable, and trading will be difficult and not as profitable, but with the way that everything is trending, it is almost hard not to be optimistic right now.
So please, continue to make the most out of this short-term volatility, and have an amazing time!
Good luck trading today, and let’s realize some gains!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $724.58
Baseline Support: $695.92
Psychological Support: $700
Daily Cloud Support: $663.56
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 05/11/2026
Yesterday was an interesting time for the markets. There was a mild bullish movement, yet there was enough volatility to go and watch as $SPY made a NEW all-time high! I just want to congratulate everyone again for surviving until this point, and congratulate everyone for making the most out of these insane opportunities this year. Everyone’s had chances to generate some life-changing gains while $SPY continues to make new highs, so continue to make the most out of these opportunities, and have an amazing time!
We started the week with $SPY trading at $736.58. Markets were ever so slightly red for the day, but instantly rallied from open. $SPY recovered everything that was lost within the first minutes of the day, and before 10 AM EST, the markets went green for the day, and continued to rally. We watched as $SPY tested the previous all-time high leading into lunch, officially breaking it and continually making new all-time highs in the process.
Markets did slow down slightly at the start of the lunchtime session, resulting in the markets coming down, but thankfully, the markets recovered nicely, where we went on and made the official high of the day and all-time high, trading at $740.75.
After making the all-time high towards the back half of the afternoon, we watched as $SPY did unfortunately come down once again, leading into close, resulting in a slight drop in the markets before popping back up into close, where we officially ended the day with $SPY trading at $739.30, up $1.68 for the day, or up roughly 0.23% overall.
So, what I will say is that the market conditions were difficult to navigate in real time, but despite the confusion and difficulties some traders experienced, markets did thankfully provide us with opportunities to trade and realize some gains. As I said previously, we did make some new all-time highs, and honestly, that’s what matters at the end of the day. So keep making the most out of this volatility, and let’s have some fun leading into today!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 05/12/2026
Today is going to be another confusing and difficult day for the general markets. We are seeing mild weakness out of the markets right now as $SPY is down slightly, but we have both economic news and general momentum on our side. Hopefully, the economic news we see during the pre-market session positively impacts the markets and provides us with more confidence, but at the end of the day, regardless of the sentiment traders are experiencing, it all comes down to how you are able to navigate this short-term volatility and inconsistencies in the markets.
If you are attempting to scalp and trade in the short term, yet are not able to remain consistent in the markets, you will most likely statistically lose. That sounds bad, and it is a bad thing. So please, look to remain consistent in these conditions. It is not as easy as it sounds, but it can easily be accomplished by everyone.
Everything really comes down to your ability to navigate the markets. Anyone can scale up a position to try and take on more risk, but things are different when you try to scale back your positions and truly think about the play. Instead of praying on some 0-DTE contracts, which result in you losing, look to allocate into more fundamentally solid organizations that are trading at a discount in these market conditions, and hold them with confidence.
Obviously, those deep value plays are going to be exponentially harder to find in real time, but the principle remains. Find deep value you are confident in, make sure you understand both the operations as well as how they generate profit, and from there, do what you can to rip it up.
This is all obviously easier said than done, but it is kind of what is necessary for traders to be able to continually realize consistent gains.
Another thing people don’t consider in these conditions is the risks that they are taking. Many traders are having a difficult time because they are looking to take on either too much risk or too little risk. These are the types of conditions where you should look to take on “smart” risk. I am not saying that you should look to go all-in on some trashy 0-DTE options play and pray that your position works out, but at the same time, you should not look to purchase a small amount of shares that realistically will result in you being able to purchase something from the McDonald’s value meal if the play works out in your favor.
So look to adjust your current risk profiles to take on some more short term risk in these conditions, and make sure you are always following trends and general market momenutm, because those who are caught fighting trends, are going to be the ones who lose their portfolio’s, while those who don’t take on the risk amount of risk, will be the ones who are caught losing their minds because they are right, but their portfolio’s are not reflecting it.
Make the most out of today, and let’s just have a lot of fun in the process of everything 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.
