HaiKhuu Daily Report - 08/15/2025
Good morning, and happy Friday!
Man, I don’t know about you, but I have the biggest smile on my face. This has been an insane week for the markets with new all-time highs, general market strength, and confidence across the board. If you have been following any of the plays I’ve been in over the previous couple of days/weeks, you should be thrilled at the time of this report.
Currently, $INTC is testing $25, and just a couple of days ago, I sent my final buy notice out for them at $21. Congratulations to anyone who achieved a nearly 40% return on their investment in just a matter of days.
I have retained the majority of my exposure in $INTC. Still, at the same time, I have also cut a portion and change for safety and risk midigation, I’ll talk more in depth about my entire $INTC position later on in the report, but just know going into today, market conditions are looking great as $SPY has continued to move up during the pre-market session and is extremely close to making a new all-time high.
There is a high likelihood that the markets will continue to see strength due to ongoing capital deployment, and if we move up ever so slightly, we will go on and make a new all-time high! However, the outcome will depend on what is available in these market conditions, where traders allocate their resources, and where people feel most comfortable.
These conditions are going to be great with opportunities to trade, so make the most of it!
Good luck trading today, and let’s see more highs on $INTC!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $635.88
Baseline Support: $632.12
Psychological Support: $640
Daily Cloud Support: $611.50
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 08/14/2025
Yesterday was a disgusting day for the markets with chop, volatility, and difficulty, yet the stories of the hidden gems continue to win. With most organizations being extremely choppy or bearish, there were a couple of standout organizations from the bunch. Still, overall, we can assume that the large majority of traders did have a relatively more difficult time.
So, we started the day with $SPY opening red, trading at $642.81, down about $2 from the previous close. PPI data was what killed the markets, coming in significantly higher than expected. However, after analyzing its direct impact on consumers and producers during the pre-market session, it seemed like a major issue only for farmers and a mild inconvenience for the average consumer.
Conditions did quickly strengthen from open, though, where $SPY rallied up and quickly made a relative high within the first hour or so, trading at $645.54. After reaching that high, conditions looked good, but we quickly sold off.
$SPY then sold off everything that was generated, as we watched as $SPY dropped $3, to go on and make the official low of the day, trading at $642.34, before starting to display any form of strength leading into the afternoon.
Thankfully, the afternoon was filled with bullish momentum and strength as by 2 pm, almost everything was fully recovered before dropping slightly leading into power hour, only to rally and make the official high of the day at $645.62, before officially ending the day with $SPY trading at $644.95, up $0.06 for the day, or up 0.0093% overall.
If you were the average trader with the average amount of long exposure in the statistically probable organizations that you are in, I would say that the large majority of you did not gain, but did not lose anything of any major significance, as again, $SPY was only up 0.0093%. If you printed yesterday, you either took on way too much risk, or you simply hit it big and got a little bit lucky…. So, congrats again to everyone who was in $INTC with us!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 08/15/2025
Today is honestly going to be an insane day for the markets. Given the current state of the market during the pre-market session, you should all be feeling overly excited and ready to go. Markets are displaying significant strength, and traders are seeing opportunities to capitalize consistently on this strength. Now, it comes down to the individual's ability to get into the correct positions. I will say, timeframe and timing are going to be the most significant issues with the majority of traders who attempt to trade either short or long term here in these conditions.
Everything might be great and conditions are looking awesome, but if you bought here, and one minute later your position drops and you get stopped out, and then your position rallies a minute after you stopped, just know that the play you called out IS a winning play, but you may have lost in the process.
If you are looking to trade today, I remain a firm believer that a skittish bull wins the race. There has been some shaky momentum following the new all-time highs and market confusion, but with any opportunity to enjoy some bullish momentum and strength, it will provide us with opportunities to realize some gains and have a fantastic time. I am not saying that the markets are all about to reach new all-time highs today (even though it is extremely likely), I would not be overly aggressive or take on too much blind risk today, as conditions have become more difficult to consistently realize gains.
So, just continue to make the most of these conditions, take advantage of the opportunities available, and make the most of this strength. Market conditions won't always be this great, so please enjoy them and have a fantastic time.
Now that we’ve talked about everything. Let’s talk about $INTC. So, if you are in $INTC, there is something that you should all consider in these conditions. There's a possibility that $INTC could receive American intervention, causing the stock to skyrocket, or we might see this news as a hoax and watch as $INTC drops back to $19. I am not saying that this news is fake, but I was not in the room when the discussion happened.
I cut about 2,000 shares of $INTC myself yesterday after that run, but I do still have a portion of my shares, and 100% of the leaps that were purchased. I anticipate holding the rest of the position and letting it run its course, but with everything happening in the markets, it is almost hard not to want to take some money off the table.
Again, if you have NOT taken some $INTC off the table, and have not secured some profits. Please do so. Again, there is an extremely high likelihood that $INTC continues to move today and that traders will continue to experience bullish momentum. Still, with everything going on at the moment, this is such a phenomenal play that is coming back to fruition extremely quickly.
Just be smart, and remember. Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered.
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, markets will continue to rally, $INTC will maintain its strength, and organizations like $PTLO will receive news of a buyout at a 300% premium. That would be amazing. But in reality, $SPY is getting extremely close to making a new all-time high, so please continue to tread lightly and make the most out of these market conditions. Just remember that you should not get greedy and look to take profits when you are both happy to do so. Make the most out of today, and have a great time!
Good luck trading, and let’s end this week strong!!!
