HaiKhuu Daily Report - 05/20/2025
Good morning, and happy Tuesday! Wow, market conditions are looking confusing and extremely beautiful at this time. Traders are feeling significantly more confident after the US credit rating downgrade, and it seems that traders are moving forward and forgetting the past. It is interesting, yet this movement does create a significant amount of confusion, fear, and kills confidence, so please do what you can to tread lightly, but capitalize on these conditions.
There is a high likelihood that there is going to be a large direcvtional move in the markets today. This is a warning to everyone that we can very easily move in either direction as a result of the ongoing market sentiment, so expect to see either a large bullish or bearish move today. Hopefully, $SPY is able to break above that $600 magnet zone and continue to move up, but that is for us to watch and see if it happens in real time, before markets ultimately sell off and display more weakness in the process.
So, good luck trading today, and let’s make the most of it!!!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $575.79
Baseline Support: $552.00
Psychological Support: $580
Psychological Resistance: $600
Daily Cloud Support: $547.52
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 05/19/2025
Yesterday, was a rather confusing and difficult time to navigate. I will say, that anyone who was bearish prior to market open (including myself) was incorrect, and that the markets had a beautiful recovery from the bottom. Traders had a phenomenal time, and there were many opportunities that were consistently presenting themselves to us and provided us with some great opportunities to trade, and realize a significant amount of gains. It’s fun seeing yesterday though, knowing that despite the general market weakness, there were great opportunities assuming you spotted and seized the opportunity!
So, we started the day with $SPY opening at $588.14. General market conditions were weaker as a result of Moody’s US Credit Downgrade, but that is simply just life. There was extremely strong bullish momentum early at open as $SPY literally started to pump from the get go, and recovered beautifully throughout the entire morning, throughout the lunchtime lull, and finally went green for the day leading into the back half of the afternoon.
Absolutely everything was 100% recovered, and $SPY went on to make the official high of the day trading at $595.54, up $7 from open, and essentially just chopped in the area for way too long making traders tired and just exhausted during the back half of the trading day. It was unfortunate, but it is simply just life as we officially end the day with $SPY trading at $594.85, up $0.65 for the day, or up 0.10%
What I can say about yesterday, is that despite market conditions looking extremely weak, with traders freaking out thinking t hat this could be the beginning of the end, that the only thing that continues to remain true, is that if you have fundamentally solid investments, opportunities will consistently present themselves with relative ease, and provide us with some insane opportunities to realize some gains, from the most unexpected spots. So, hopefully yesterday was a slightly green day for the markets for you all, and that you could capitalize on the opportunities and strength! So, we see what happens now, and enjoy today!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 05/20/2025
Today is going to be a relatively confusing and more difficult day to comment on, because if I am being real, at this point, we can watch as $SPY does almost anything, and that would be a miracle.
Recently, $SPY has watched as momentum slowed down. This is not due to market conditions getting weaker or the fact that anything else is happening right now. That confusion is really coming from traders not knowing how to trade or allocate on an intraday basis, and that is completely reasonable. I mean think about it, the markets have already moved up significantly from the bottom, it is tough to buy and allocate here, yet the people who missed the bottom are starting to FOMO in and buy, while people who have bought from the bottom, are starting to turn those new buyers into exit liquidity.
So, now it is just a true test of the markets to see the sentiment and direction we are looking to go. Because in reality, $SPY can easily break back above $600, but can also very easily break below $580 and sell off again. Either direction is easily a reality, but we just have to look at the performance of the markets as a whole. If people are buying, the markets will continue to move up and we continue to slowly print, but if markets start to display weakness, fear or confusion, we are going to see some selling that will negatively impact the markets and it’s performance.
So, we see where things go from here and vibe.
I will warn you all, please just continue to practice safe risk management. As long as you are not simply gambling and praying that whatever contract you are purchasing goes deep ITM and you print. Go out there and find some EV+ opportunities. They individually do not need to generate a significant amount for you, but at the same time, the focus should be on consistency. If you can pull just $50-100 a trade, consistently throughout the day, then you’ll make north of $100,000 with ease, despite only realizing $50-100 per trade.
Opportunities will consistently present themselves in these conditions, and we are going to continue to be provided with some absolutely amazing opportunities to trade and realize some gains. I am excited to see where the markets take us today, and I am honestly very happy to see where the markets have taken us over the previous couple of weeks. Continue to hold those strong equity positions, and we are going to do what we can to maximize our profit potential.
Just remember too, as long as you are buying fundamentally solid organizations that are heavily undervalued (Tougher to find now than before), and believe in their operations, you should have almost zero issues at all attempting to capitalize on the markets and have some fun!
So, let’s see where the markets take us today, and make the most out of the opportunities available!
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
Hopefully, market conditions will only remain strong at this point and provide us with amazing opportunities to trade and realize some gains. It would not surprise me if we did break out and break above $600 on $SPY, but at the same time, it would not surprise me in the case that markets did start to come down and display some general weakness. Whatever you do today, make sure that you tread lightly and practice safe risk management! So, make the most of today, and have some fun!!!
Good luck trading, and let’s realize some gains!
