HaiKhuu Daily Report - 08/14/2026
Good morning and happy Friday! Man, I don’t know where this week has gone; things have absolutely flown by, and this is going to be a crazy week! With the opportunities presented to us across the board, I think it is almost hard not to be optimistic about the market conditions leading into today! Markets are strong, traders are confident, and we are seeing new all-time highs hit across the board!
I hope you all are ready for all of the opportunities presented to us today, and I hope everyone is prepared for some volatility.
As warned yesterday, the markets are in a state of general irrationality, but at the same time, we have so much potential presented to us.
Prepare for generalized inconsistencies. These conditions will make trading tough. But under the assumption you are able to break through the noise, great trades will present themselves. So have some fun, realize some gains, and have an amazing time in the process.
Life is good and so are these market conditions, so let’s end this week strong!
Good luck trading today, and let’s enjoy some volatility!

Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 08/13/2026
Yesterday was an amazing day for the overall markets, but a tough day for the traders. We watched as $SPY had some solid intraday momentum and watched as traders went and were able to capitalize on a new all-time high, but man, if you attempted to scalp or fight the momentum at any time, assuming you timed the position incorrectly, it was a rough time. So hopefully you all were able to easily capitalize on the new all-time high and rode the larger trends with us yesterday!
We started yesterday with $SPY trading at $774.93. Markets were strong leading into the open as PPI data came back lower than expected, and then we watched as $SPY rallied from the get-go and quickly went on to test the previous all-time high, break that level, and continually make new all-time highs afterward. We went on to make the official high of the day and all-time high, trading at $779.37 before general market momentum shifted towards the downside, and we dropped right back down to test $776. I am extremely proud that we were able to call an almost perfect reversal alert at the top, and another great one at the bottom.
Markets bounced after the lunchtime lull leading into the afternoon as there was slight bullish momentum, making traders excited as we pushed back up slowly, before breaking out once again leading into power hour, where we went on to officially end the day trading at $777.88, meaning $SPY ended the day up $5.39, or up roughly 0.7%, with this being the highest ever recorded close on $SPY!!!
So, my thoughts about yesterday are a bit of a mixed bag: market conditions were beautiful, traders were optimistic, and everyone across the board could have easily realized significant gains in the process. Life and market conditions were great, and anyone who follows our plays should have absolutely killed it yesterday, so let’s see what the markets have in store for us today and make the most out of the opportunities presented!!!
Also - side note, congrats to anyone holding $PTLO with us yesterday; that 10% rally right at open was insane!!!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 08/14/2026
Today is going to be another fun time for the general markets. With the fact that we are at all-time highs and there is confidence across the board, it is almost going to be hard not to be overly optimistic and excited for today. There is a chance of another breakout and an all-time high, but it all comes down to general market conditions and traders' solvency in these conditions.
If you are looking to scalp or daytrade, today is going to be an amazing day full of opportunity and trades.
My warning to you all, is to again, make sure you are practicing safe risk management. The best of traders and the luckiest of traders are going to absolutely print in these market conditions, and it is those who are stuck in positions that they absolutely hate which are going to be the ones with the worst time. People who force allocations, attempt to fight market trends, or over trade are going to continually realize losses today, and that is just the reality of these conditions.
If you are attempting to allocate with any sort of confidence, then make sure to allocate properly today. Under the assumption that we get another trending day in the markets, following the momentum and sizing your position accordingly will result in the biggest upside potential for you. I am not saying you should take on any “dumb” risk, but look to take on some exposure when possible and have an amazing time in the process!
One organization I do want to talk about right now before we go crazy talking about 0-DTE options is $PTLO. I know I have talked about this a lot recently, but with the way the organization is moving in these market conditions, it is almost hard not to watch and be optimistic,. The organization just finally got back above the $5 handle, and is showing generalized strength. For those who are optimistic, today is going to be an exciting day. We have been predicting a rally after earnings and it appears that has come to fruition. The organization is up almost 15% in the past week and there is zero signs of stopping. We just saw $300k of insider purchasing of the organization, and it will be interesting to see if there is a continuation of this trend from other members of the board.
I am not saying that $PTLO is a guaranteed winner, but this is the first of many signs we do want to look for on a larger scale. With the fact that earnings came back strong, CEO’s changes are being implemented, and the fact that the organization is only continuing to rally, it is going to be relatively harder not to be optimistic at this time.
Sell when you are statisfied with the position and your returns. Do not get greedy and do not be irrational. If you are already up 15% in the past week, if you are happy with that return and want to move on with your life, feel free to take profit, but at the same time, with the strength being presented, you need to remember the genuine upside potential that is being presented to us. If $PTLO breaks out and continues a run like this, we can easily see $PTLO trading above $5, back above $6, and honestly maybe back in the $7 handle by the end of the year. Again, not a signal to buy or sell, if anything this is a reaffirmation that youu should NOT purchase at this level unless you are FOMOing in, but this play is starting to work out and I hope you all are ready for some beautiful momentum.
So, now let’s talk options and 0-DTE option contracts.
Before I say anything, this is a reminder that I am not a financial advisor nor is this a signal to buy or sell any positions.
BUT. 0-DTE time. As always, on Friday’s I feel that the most fun anyone can have in the markets is attempting to scalp or daytrade the last hour or so of the trading day. For the previous couple of weeks we have found some absolutely insane runners, with $ORCL absolutely popping off for us last week. I believe in a span of fifteen minutes or so, I went from +250% to -40% back to +400%.
I am not saying that any of you should necessarily gamble in these market conditions, but if there is any gambles I would personally recommend more than others, I would say fuck attempting to gamble on options in the first hour of the day and pray everything works out. Allocate in that final half hour or hour of the day with more confidence and precision.
Find a higher beta tech organization that is trending, showing signs of a directional move into close, but is not moving accordingly. Then look to purchase an at the money option contract and get risk exposure for literally pennies on the dollar. Understand that this is one of the highest risk plays you can take in the markets as if you are 1% wrong in the short term, you realistically are 100% wrong on the play, but at least with this strategy, instead of spraying and praying at market open, you can literally find the ATM option contract and allocate accordingly as a result.
If you are attempting to catch one of these plays with me, make sure to tune in about an hour and a half before markets close, I obviously cannot guarentee that I am going to find something, nor that it is going to have an insane return, but I can do everything in my power to attempt to find something for you all, so let’s just have an amazing day and see a new all-time high!
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.
