HaiKhuu Daily Report - 07/15/2026
Good morning and happy Wednesday. Wow, this week has been flying by, yet the intraday momentum has felt so slow. I hope you guys are all ready for what the markets have in store for us, as we inch closer and closer to a new all-time high on $SPY. These market conditions are great despite the lack of volatility, and I genuinely hope that you all are ready for what the markets have in store for us today!
Markets are up slightly at the time of writing this report; we are retaining daily support levels, and honestly, leading into today, I do not see a reason why people cannot continue to be optimistic about these conditions. Tread lightly, practice safe risk management, and just do everything in your power to maximize your profit potential.
I’ll talk more about the great opportunities that will present themselves to us today later in the full report, so please make the most of everything, realize some gains, and enjoy everything today has to offer us. Hopefully this is a day full of bullish optimism, but we will see what happens by the time markets close.
Prepare for some volatility, and let’s have some fun. Good luck trading today, and let’s realize some gains!!!

Conversion Line Support: $747.46
Baseline Support: $736.63

Previous All-Time High: $760.40
Daily Cloud Support: $743.41
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 07/14/2026
Yesterday was a gross time for the general markets. There was so much neutrality and consolidation that intraday trading was honestly a terrible time, despite the interesting opportunities that presented themselves. The majority of traders should have survived, while those who simply followed the momentum had opportunities to trade in both directions. Hopefully you all were able to capitalize on the opportunities the markets presented yesterday and realize some gains in the process!
We started yesterday with $SPY opening slightly green. $SPY opened at $750.85, and market conditions honestly looked pretty solid in the entire process. $SPY quickly dropped at open to make the official low of the day, trading at $748.66, and then watched as everything recovered before chopping around.
$SPY popped back up to open price, and within the first hour, $SPY came back down to test the $750 support. After that, Kevin Warsh (Fed Chair) testified to the House, which led to markets slowly moving up ahead of the lunchtime lull. This is where $SPY made the official high of the day, trading at $753.30, and then, leading into the lull, the markets quickly dropped back down to test $750 before moving back up in the early afternoon.
After $SPY bounced off $750, we essentially remained at $752 throughout the rest of the afternoon. As much as I would love to post about how perfect and ideal the market conditions were, there were no great opportunities to scalp or day trade throughout the afternoon, as the indices only continued to burn in that $752 range.
We ended the day with $SPY trading at $751.83, up roughly $3, or 0.4%.
What I will say about yesterday is that we should be thankful we did not sell off or do anything that would have increased general panic, but at the same time, given the way the markets were moving, there were so many insane opportunities presented to us. We watched as $LCID dove 60%, we alerted an opportunity to sell some put spreads, and net a 40% ROI in literally an hour. Hopefully you watched the opportunities presented to us yesterday and made the most of the fun market conditions. Let’s see what the markets have in store for us today, and enjoy some more volatility!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 07/15/2026
Today is going to be a spicier day for the general markets. With the consolidation we’ve experienced over the previous couple of trading days, it is almost going to be difficult not to be optimistic leading into today. Market conditions are strong, traders are confident, and we are inching closer and closer to a new all-time high. This is one of those situations where, in the event of any sudden movement, we are going to get directional movement, resulting in either a lot of people generating significant gains or lots of people panicking and realizing losses.
It is crazy that we are still in fear on the fear-and-greed index, yet we are less than 1% away from a new all-time high. If that is not a statement about the current conditions, I don’t know what is. Traders lack the confidence necessary for a breakout under these conditions, not because of organizational BS, but because of the current US politics.
This is not a statement about politics or Trump, but in reality, all we need is a little bit of calm in these conditions for the markets to break out and continue on the bullish trend we’ve been experiencing. This will most likely come in the form of war news, but there are so many other reasons for the markets to break out here in the short term.
We could get some tech movement, some positive news about rates, or, honestly, anything you can possibly imagine is a possibility in 2026. So please, continue to tread lightly, practice safe risk management, and mitigate the risks associated with the allocations that you are attempting to make today.
There is a fall risk in the markets right now as we have only continued to remain in a choppy consolidation, but under the assumption that we do not sell off, I think we are in a good spot. If we do start to sell off, the next levels of support to look out for are $SPY $750, and $740. If we break below $750, the next level of support will be $740.
But honestly, the biggest thing I am concerned about is just a continuation of general market neutrality. Looking at yesterday's heatmap, that has to be one of the worst days I’ve seen in a while, with the majority of markets black and a couple of green outliers. So be careful about the realities of these conditions and how we may see slow chop and consolidation. But just remember that after consolidation comes a directional move. So we will enjoy the processes while we can and make the most of it!
One thing that I do want to talk about a little bit more is taking on the right risk at the right time. Yesterday, we got news that $LCID is in the process of going bankrupt, and as that news spread, the organization dropped 60%. It was trading around $6 a share and went on to make the official low of the day and a new all-time low at $2.37. Towards the bottom, I brought up that there was an opportunity to sell some $1.5 / $2 put spreads, which would have tied up a total of $50 notional per spread, and would return $20 over the course of (3) trading days. That means the short term hypothetical return on that contract was roughly 40%. Under the assumption that $LCID did not go bankrupt in 3 days, those contracts would have easily printed, and they did when $LCID came back out and said that was fake news, resulting in the organization ripping back up almost 100%, making that spread worthless. That means within an hour of that alert being posted in the exclusive room, anyone could have made a 90-100% return on that spread, and a 40% ROI on capital.
I am not saying that ALL plays will work out that perfectly, but this is one example of taking on smart risk when it makes sense. Obviously, there were easier spreads that I brought up yesterday, like the IBM $200/$190 spread I opened yesterday, where we were able to close out for a 60% return in a matter of 15 minutes, but this is the beauty of these market conditions where opportunities will only continue to present themselves. So please look out for opportunities when possible, and take advantage when one is presented to you. Life is good, and so are the markets, so please continue to make the most of these conditions and realize some 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.
