HaiKhuu Daily Report - 08/12/2026
Good morning and happy Wednesday! This week has absolutely flown by. We are halfway through the week, markets are testing all-time highs, and traders are just starting to prepare for some general confusion. The previous couple of trading days have been rough, but given the placement of the markets and the opportunities presented to us, I think we are about to have some better opportunities presented to us today.
Please, just continue to be careful with all of the volatility we are experiencing in these conditions. But hey, regardless of everything, life is great and so are these market conditions.
Look to take advantage of the momentum in the markets and do everything you can to realize some gains. These market conditions are beautiful, and I am genuinely excited to see what the markets do today!
Today should be a fun day to trade in comparison to yesterday, so let’s have an amazing time and realize some gains!
Good luck trading today, and let’s see where $SPY takes us!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $755.72
Baseline Support: $752.98
Psychological Support: $760
Previous All-Time High: $776.85
Daily Cloud Support: $736.49
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 08/11/2026
Yesterday was a slow and gross day for the general markets. Thankfully, it was extremely predictable and anyone who listened to our warnings was able to come out of it unscathed. Hopefully you all had some fun and were able to capitalize on the mild bearish momentum, but hey, such is simply life. As long as you survived yesterday, we take that as a win!
We started yesterday with $SPY trading at $774.61. General market conditions were alright as we were slightly green, but watched as the open price was the official high of the day, and we just dropped and dropped and dropped some more.
There was mild neutralith throughout the first half of the morning, and just continued slow bearish burn throughout the rest of the day. We dropped from $774 on general war, which resulted in more bearish momentum into the lunchtime lull, which resulted in more bearish momentum into the early afternoon, and $SPY just continued to drop and drop and drop, going on to make the official low of the day in the back half of the afternoon, trading at $769.25.
There thankfully was a minor bump in the makrets in the final hour or so of the day, but there was really nothing of any major significance that happened. $SPY popped back up to end the day trading at $770.56, down $2.50 for the day, or down roughly 0.3%.
So hopefully everyone who attempted to trade yesterday heard our warnings and was able to dodge the majority of the BS that occured, but again, it is simply life. Markets were predictable yesterday, and hopefully today will be another great day full of opportunity!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 08/12/2026
Today is setting up to be a better day for the general markets. With the way the markets have moved over the previous couple of days, it is hard to be optimistic, but I need to remind you that these market conditions are strong and we have CPI data coming out later. CPI is going to be the catalyst for any sentiment that is built into today, so please keep your eyes out on that data. That pre-market momentum is literally dictated by how the market reacts to CPI, so please be careful.
The only thing that matters leading into today will be CPI, so please, tread lightly on the data, practice risk management, and realize some gains in the process.
There will be some amazing opportunities to scalp some strong markets in these conditions, but it is just a matter of what is going to happen and how quickly. Obviously, everything is going to be speculation at this point, but given the strength of the markets and the opportunities presented to us, it is almost hard not to be excited leading into today.
We’ve seen a couple of days of gross consolidation; now it is time for the markets to break out and for us to make a new all-time high!
If you are attempting to allocate today, some of these higher beta tech organizations are going to be beautiful. Assuming we see a continuation of strength and momentum, we should see a lot of strength coming back into the chip sector.
Yesterday, we had earnings from both $SMCI and $CRWV, and both organizations smashed it out of the water. I am not saying that either of the organizations needs to rally at this point, or will continue to rally. But with the momentum and sentiment being driven at the moment, it will be extremely easy to follow larger market trends as a result. Chips & semis “SHOULD” move up as a result, so now it is a matter of does it actually.
Obviously, I cannot guarentee anything, but under the assumption that everything does look great today, that entire sector is going to be beautifully green.
So let’s hope for a continuation of optimism in these conditions, and do everything in our power to realize some gains.
I do need to warn you all though, please make sure that you are trading with purpose. For those who are allocating because they want to allocate, or those who are attempting to trade around trends, please be careful. I am not saying that the markets are going to move as they have over the previous couple of days, and I honestly hope that they do not, but you need to keep in mind the performance of the previous couple of days in the market. Conditions are great, yet at the same time, we are seeing so much indecision and neutrality that things will be tough. So make sure there is momentum and volume behind anything and everything you attempt to allocate into today, and make the most of it!
Regardless of everything, though, we should all be excited about the market conditions provided to us today, and make the most of this short-term volatility. Life is good and so are these conditions, so let’s realize some gains and have an amazing time!
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.
