HaiKhuu Daily Report - 08/28/2026
Good morning and happy Friday! Man, this has been an absolutely insane week for the general markets, and I hope you all have been able to realize a significant amount of gains in an extremely short period of time! General market conditions have been strong despite the short-term volatility in the markets.
Hopefully you all have been able to capitalize on the opportunities presented to us, and have enjoyed the momentum coming directly from the tech sector yesterday, and specifically loving the fact that $NVDA is now a $5.5T company.
That absolutely blows my mind, attempting to understand conceptually how that number is even possible.
But regardless of everything, this is going to be a fun Friday with opportunities to scalp, trade, and maybe find some interesting 0-DTE option plays. But hey, life is good and so are these market conditions, so enjoy these conditions and realize some gains!
Good luck trading today, and let’s realize some gains!!!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $769.41
Baseline Support: $754.24
Psychological Support: $760
Previous All-Time High: $779.64
Daily Cloud Support: $742.41
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 08/27/2026
Yesterday was a relatively interesting day for the general markets. There were opportunities to scalp and trade in the short term, but really, if anyone simply held strong equities that moved up proportionately harder than everything else, you would have printed and had an amazing time. We’ve been talking about the discounts that were provided in the chip sector, and man, were there some great opportunities to scalp. So hopefully you all printed yesterday and had some fun!
We started yesterday with $SPY trading at $768.46. General market conditions were strong and we watched as $SPY only continued to rally from open. There was a quick drop at open where we made the official low of the day trading at $767.17, but markets remained strong overall and provided us with some great opportunities to scalp, trade, and realize gains.
General market momentum was strong leading into the lunchtime lull, where things slowed down slightly, but we watched as $SPY broke out once again into the early afternoon, where $SPY went on to make the official high of the day trading at $772.35. Market conditions at the top were beautiful, and we watched as $SPY reversed into the back half of the afternoon, where we came back down to test $770 before bouncing back up ever so slightly into close, where we ended the day with $SPY trading at $771.10, ending the day up $5 overall officially, or up roughly 0.6%.
So, what I will say about the market conditions of yesterday is that obviously, conditions were less than ideal, yet it provided us with some great opportunities to scalp, trade, and realize some gains, but given the overall markets, it really was only a great day if you were purchasing those discounted higher beta tech organizations that have been heavily discounted that we’ve been talking about. But hey, I hope that you all are able to continue to capitalize on the momentum in the markets, and are able to realize a significant amount of gains in a short period of time today, so let’s see where the markets take us, and have an amazing time!!!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 08/28/2026
Today is going to be a spicy way to end this week. With the selling pressure we experienced over the previous two weeks, and the two days of bullish momentum we’ve seen, hopefully this is a continuation of a stronger market trend. Markets have been extremely confusiong and irrational over the previous couple of weeks, and honestly, as much as I am not a “fan” of these conditions, given the way the markets are trending and the way that people are ready to trade, I genuinely believe that there are going to be some great opportunities to scalp and realize gains in an extremely short period of time.
Everything comes back down to how you are attempting to allocate, and the exposure that you are taking on. With the current state of the markets, it is almost hard not to continue to be optimistic. Markets are strong, and we are about 1% away from making a new all-time high. Obviously, anything can happen in the short term, but with the strength we are seeing coming out of chips and semis, hopefully the markets only continue to rally with strong bullish momentum.
If you are attempting to scalp and trade today, just know that I genuinely believe that this is going to be another fun day for the markets. There will be intraday volatility that will make scalping a little more difficult, but given the conditions, we can easily watch as the markets break out and we rally in the short term.
Single-name stocks are still going to be the best way to capitalize on the short-term momentum in the markets. Indexes will have opportunities to scalp, but the momentum in these higher beta tech organizations are going to be exponentially better for short term opportunities. So please, follow the general market momentum and larger scale trends while attempting to trade today, and you should be fine. Emphasis on should.
So just make sure you are practicing safe risk management while attempting to scalp, and have an amazing time.
This now becomes the fun part about talking about Fridays! It is time for us to talk about some 0-DTE options.
Before I say anything, just a reminder that this is not financial advice nor a signal to buy or sell any positions. Anything can happen in an extremely short period, and as a result of the short-term volatility we are experiencing, traders are either going to realize a significant amount of gains or lose absolutely 100% of their position attempting to trade 0-DTE contracts. If you allocate improperly, you have an exponentially higher rate of wiping out. So you have to be smart and safe while attempting to trade any of these positions.
SO, 0-DTE option contracts. If you are attempting to scalp or trade in these market conditions, these 0-DTE option contracts are going to be the BEST opportunity to scalp in the short term. Obviously, anything can happen at any time, but given the current market conditions, I genuinely believe that 0-DTE option contracts towards the end of the day are going to be one of the best risk-to-reward plays in the entire market.
Given the momentum we’ve seen in the markets, statistically 90-95% of 0-dte option contracts held through the entire day are going to depreciate 90-95% of their premium. Theta will burn the play, and towards the end of the day, those ATM option contracts are trading for pennies on the dollar.
Look for an organization that is setting up for a directional move into close, and attempt to capitalize on that short-term opportunity.
There are two types of organizations you should look for while attempting to allocate.
Either you attempt to find an organization that has been trending hard in a direction that is showing potential for a reversal
> i.e., an organization that has been ripping irrationally that needs to come back down, or an organization that has been selling off looking for a bounce.
OR you attempt to find an organization that has been showing signs of neutrality that is finally showing potential for a directional breakout.
Either way, look to get an ATM option contract that is less than $0.50 away from going ITM that looks like it has the potential to break out, and allocate for pennies on the dollar.
There will be many organizations that rally or drop in that final hour or so of the day, so if you are able to catch that momentum, you will be able to get one of the highest rates of return in the markets, the quickest possible way. So go into these final hour 0-DTE plays and expect either an instant return, or 100% loss instantly. This will be the only time I say that it is “okay” to gamble in the markets, because at least it provides you with the best possible return and instant results, but again, I need to emphasize that you need to know exactly what you are doing and attempting to accomplish prior to entering into anything on the simple principle of understanding the risks associated with the position.
So just make sure to tune in during that final hour and a half of the trading day, and let’s find some great plays we can enjoy and capitalize on together!
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.
