HaiKhuu Daily Report - 08/28/2025
Good morning, and happy Thursday! Wow, these market conditions have been interesting, as $SPY has displayed a significant amount of confusion following $NVDA’s earnings after-hours yesterday.
Conditions are less than ideal at the moment, despite the fact that the markets are UP at the time of writing this report, I am expecting to see some irrational movements in the “normality” of today. Go into today optimistic, but keep your fists up, as I am expecting conditions to remain in a state of confused consolidation until we start to see a larger directional move.
But markets are up, we did not die as a result of $NVDA yesterday, and we live to see another day. If you are attempting to trade or capitalize on these conditions, please tread extremely lightly and practice safe risk management, as these irrational movements will confuse everyone. Hopefully, the markets will simply rally after open, and we can end the day with $SPY trading above $650, and displaying significant strength going into the long weekend.
Life and these market conditions are going to continue to be great, so please, just like in life, make the most out of these opportunities. Traders can print; it’s just a matter of what you do. So, have some fun with it and make the most of today!
ALSO - This is a reminder that the markets are CLOSED on Monday for LABOR DAY
Good luck trading today, and let’s continue to see NEW all-time highs!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $640.63
Baseline Support: $633.33
Psychological Support: $640
Daily Cloud Support: $618.25
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday 08/27/2026
Yesterday was a genuinely confusing time for the overall markets. We watched as momentum was extremely slow while testing the previous all-time highs, and despite the generalized confusion, we all should have had a great time and were able to realize some gains in the process. I hope you all were able to have some fun and realize some gains!!!
So, market conditions yesterday were interesting going into open. We started the day with $SPY trading at $644.53, and there was hesitation across the board as we were waiting to see where the markets would take us and where we would go. Conditions were less than ideal, but displayed a significant amount of the necessary strength to break out.
After opening slightly red, markets moved up throughout the entire morning, going on to test the previous all-time high before smashing that level, and coming back down leading into the lunchtime lull.
During that time, momentum was extremely slow, but as expected, towards the back half of the day, we watched as trainers slowly started to FOMO back into equities, and as a result of that, we watched as $SPY continued to move up consistently, continually making new all-time highs and displaying a significant amount of strength until the final 15~ minutes of the trading day.
At that time, $SPY went on to make the official high of the day and all-time high, trading at $647.36, before coming back down to officially end the day at $646.63, up $1.50 for the day, or up roughly 0.25%. I won’t say that yesterday was a good day for the markets, because it wasn't, but it provided us all with some amazing opportunities to trade, scalp, and consistently realize gains in the process. Many active scalps and day trades were alerted yesterday in real-time, so I hope you all were able to take advantage of those alerts and realize significant gains!
Today is going to be a different story for us, so let’s hope conditions continue to remain ideal, and we have a fantastic time in the process. But regardless of everything, just make sure to protect yourself, as these times are going to be extremely confusing.

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 08/28/2025
Going into today, if I'm being honest, it's going to be a toss-up. At the time of writing this report, $SPY has moved up nicely despite the sell-off that occurred yesterday with $NVDA, and we are seeing strength across the board. I am very hesitant when I see this, as I do not know if today will be a pot of gold or if we are about to witness traders getting caught in a trap and losing their fortunes in the process.
Volatility and general market momentum should be “normalized” today, but $NVDA is going to be a massive leading indicator for the markets today. If $NVDA is displaying strength or weakness, it will guide the direction for the markets as all eyes are on $NVDA right now.
I will warn you all that I believe this is likely a fake breakout in the markets, and we will likely see continued weakness throughout the morning, unless $NVDA and other megacaps can recover in a short period. Tread lightly if you anticipate entering around open.
It’s going to be less than ideal when you are navigating these conditions. Like everything in life, making the most out of things and thinking positively typically works out. Just remember that we are seeing short-term fear and skepticism, but market conditions are still strong, and we literally made new all-time highs yesterday.
There is no “need” for an exaggerated response to a relatively “minor” event in the scheme of things. Unfortunately, earnings were not as eventful as we had hoped, but life simply continues to move forward.
I will say again that market conditions are strong, but I do not have confidence in the movement we are seeing. I recommend that people continue to remain skeptical of these market conditions. Being a skittish bull will be an easy way to navigate the markets today, by waiting skeptically until you are comfortable/confident in entering into a position.
Continue to hold your strong positions that you have confidence in, maintain your bullish optimism, but understand that a minuscule move in a massive organization is not going to cause the markets to crash; however, it can be the first domino in a chain that causes us to drop. I am maintaining my positions in the markets and do not anticipate adding while we are trying to break out of this consolidation phase. I will reconsider my bullish exposure once $SPY has broken above $650, and we will continue to move towards euphoria and irrationality. Until then, I will sit on my hands and attempt to remain rational!
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.

Good luck trading, and let’s see where the markets take us today!
