HaiKhuu Daily Report - 05/13/2026
Good morning and happy Wednesday!!! Hump day, baby! $SPY has made a new all-time high during the pre-market session, and I genuinely hope that all of you are ready for what today has in store for us! We are about to see a lot of volatility and inconsistencies in the markets, providing us with opportunities to trade and realize some gains.
These market conditions are absolutely beautiful, and we are continuing to see opportunities presented to us. Please continue to tread lightly on these market conditions and do everything in your power to maximize your profit potential while minimizing your risk. This is obviously easier said than done, but it is necessary for you all to continue to be successful in these conditions.
So lead into today optimistically, but continue to remain skeptical of these conditions!
Just as a side note, we did just send many of our business leaders over to China for a business summit. So, we will see what ultimately happens. Let’s have our fingers crossed that the result is a strong performance in the markets!
But hey, for now….
Good luck trading today, let’s see what this volatility brings!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $725.62
Baseline Support: $695.92
Psychological Support: $700
Daily Cloud Support: $663.56
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 05/12/2026
Yesterday was an insane day where anyone and everyone had opportunities to trade and realize some gains. There was gross bearish momentum where shorts would have easily won, and there was strong bullish momentum where everyone else should have won. Overall, it was a tough day to navigate, but at the level we are at, and the consolidation we were expecting, it was almost hard not to remain profitable, and if you followed the momentum, it was almost hard not to be consistent!
We started yesterday with $SPY trading at $736.93. Markets were down slightly, and we watched as market conditions only continued to weaken throughout the entire morning. There was strong, continued bearish momentum after the open, and we sold off until $732, leading into the lunchtime lull. Market conditions were less than ideal, and traders who attempted to fight the momentum on the way down unfortunately got sliced.
There was a minor recovery leading into the lunchtime lull, but that was quickly sold back off, leading into the afternoon, where $SPY went on to make the official low of the day, trading at $731.83. Conditions at the bottom were disgusting, but thankfully, towards the back half of the afternoon, $SPY did display significantly more strength, where $SPY thankfully rallied from the bottom, and went on to make the official high of the day, trading at $738.84 leading into close, and officially ending the day with $SPY trading at $738.18.
This means that we officially ended the day with $SPY dropping $1.12, or 0.15% overall. Obviously, that does not sound like a “great” day for the markets, but again, there were consistent opportunities presented to us. We dropped $5 from open to help the bears, and we rallied $7 from the bottom to help the bulls. Anyone and everyone could have realized some gains while attempting to trade yesterday, and hopefully, you all had an amazing time and are ready for today!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 05/13/2026
Today will be a rather interesting time for the markets. As I said before, we are testing new highs for the market, traders are excited leading into today, and we have sent a bunch of our strongest business leaders to speak at a summit in Beijing. Hopefully, the markets rip today with strength in the semiconductor/chip sector, and hopefully, the markets only continue to run from this point.
I am not saying you should be overly bullish or bearish leading into today, but this is one of those days that you should lead to be more optimistic and bullish. Yes, we’ve seen some neutrality and chop in the markets, but with the strength and opportunities that are being presented to us, I genuinely believe that traders should have an amazing time today and be presented with countless opportunities to realize gains in real time.
Please, do everything you can today to maximize your potential, but also continue to remain realistic with your expectations of the markets at this point. It will be difficult to be bearish, but it will also be extremely difficult to be overly bullish. Remain optimistic and excited for where the markets will take us, be skeptical of those who are saying we should have a large directional bullish movement, but at the same time, just continue to maximize your own potential in these conditions.
There is a small likelihood of a large directional breakout for the markets, but with that said, it does not mean there is no potential. I genuinely do believe that we are going to have a great day due to these market conditions. Please continue to remain optimistic and look to trade higher beta single-name stocks during this time!
I think that many traders are going to have opportunities on an intraday basis to be able to capitalize on 0-DTE index contracts today, but I genuinely do believe that looking at organizations that are trending and doing everything in your power to minimize your general risk is going to be amazing today. So look to set stops to minimize your losses under major support levels, adjust those stops up accordingly to secure more and more profit, and as always, follow the trends and momentum.
We continue to say this, but simply following the trend and following where people are trading is one of the easiest ways to capitalize on these conditions. So, do everything in your power to continue to maximize your potential, and have an amazing time in the process. Every day can be a life-changing day; it is just a matter of which events you try to take to make that change. Things can get better, and things can always get worse. Make the right decisions, practice safe risk management, and hope that over the next couple of trading day that market momentum only continues to strengthen! Let’s have an amazing day and realize a significant amount of gains!
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.
