HaiKhuu Daily Report - 08/25/2026
Good morning and happy Tuesday! Man, these market conditions are insane! Markets are moving up beautifully during the pre-market session; Solana has officially broken back above $100, and man, these conditions are interesting.
We’ve now seen SEVEN red days in a row, which, yes, is concerning, but all it realistically means is that we are getting some great deep-value opportunities presented to us. We are going to see some short-term volatility that will give us opportunities to buy discounts in the markets.
Momentum is currently strong, so make the most out of the opportunities that are presented to us, because this could honestly be a hyper bullish day if everything works out perfectly.
So, let’s see where the markets take us, and have some fun.
Good luck trading today, and let’s see $SPY $770!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $770.70
Baseline Support: $754.24
Psychological Support: $760
Previous All-Time High: $779.64
Daily Cloud Support: $742.09
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 08/24/2026
Yesterday was a rough day for the general markets. There were opportunities to trade in both directions, but given the narrow range and slow momentum, there were no overly “great” trading opportunities. Yesterday became the SEVENTH red day in a row, but such is simply life. Both the bulls and the bears could have capitalized on yesterday. Regardless of your sentiment, as long as you followed the momentum, you had an alright time, but with the slow momentum of yesterday, C’est la vie!
We started yesterday with $SPY opening slightly red, trading at $764.80. Things dove quickly after open; $SPY dove straight down to $762.08, making the official low of the day within the first 15 minutes of the trading day, and quickly bounced from the bottom. We chopped slightly around $763 leading into the lunchtime lull, where $SPY recovered back to $765, before dropping back down into the afternoon.
The markets sold off until the back half of the afternoon, where $SPY made a relative low around $763, before bouncing back up leading into power hour. $SPY bounced right back to that $765 range and tested the high of the day, but ultimately rejected that high and dropped throughout the entirety of powerhour, and ended the day with $SPY trading at $763,47, down 0.3% for the day, or down roughly $2.50 overall.
What I will say about yesterday, as bad as this sounds, it was essentially a neutral day overall where not much occurred, was mildly bearish, and hopefully everyone was able to capitalize on the short-term momentum of the markets. Regardless of everything, life is good and so are these market conditions, so let’s see where the markets want to take us today, and hopefully this is not the EIGHTH day of bearish momentum in a row!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 08/25/2026
Today is setting up to be an amazing day for the markets. We’ve seen seven red days in a row, and we are just waiting for the combo breaker to cause the markets to rally back up. I cannot guarentee anything today, but this is going to be one of the longest selling streaks we’ve seen in a while, even though we are less than 2% away from a new all-time high.
Please, continue to tread lightly and practice safe risk management in these conditions. Size your positions properly, and make sure you are limiting your downside risk. Set stops at break-even on long entries & scalps to minimize your risk, and then just ride the general exposure.
This is going to be one of those days that if everything works out perfectly, I am not going to advise you to scalp. If this is a momentum based breakout towards the upside that is building, you are best off day trading and holding strong equity plays that will continue to move up with the general market momentum. Obviously, anything can happen, but given the set up in the markets, taking on risk and holding strong equities has an extremely high potential of playing out today.
So, if you are looking to trade, just look at the heatmap and refer to the organizations that have sold off the hardest during this selling. Over the past week we are seeing double digit losses from organizations like $INTC, $LRCX, $SNDK, and other chip & hardware companies. When the markets move up, that sector is going to be the brightest green. The issue is waiting and timing out that reversal. But again, if that occurs today, just simply hold your long equities, and watch as they absolutely print.
I am contemplating attempting to get into 0-DTE calls on $SPY around open, my only concern about that though, is that the premium is going to be expensive and the majority of the move has already happened, so my priority and focus today will be looking to find some strong equity plays to hold as a day trade and just ride that general position until momentum shifts.
Again, just make sure that you are looking to enter on a longer timeframe on an intraday basis. I think that scalping will be tough, yet strong day trades “should” perform well. We see what happens and have a great time in the process!
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.
