HaiKhuu Daily Report - 09/15/2026
Good morning and happy Tuesday! Man, these market conditions have been stupidly volatile, as $SPY has only continued to show short-term weakness. Hopefully you all are ready for the market conditions today, because leading into open, things are NOT looking good. We are down about 0.5% at the time of writing this report, as we are seeing an increase in fear coming back into the general markets.
I am not saying you should panic, but I will warn you about what I was saying again yesterday. These market conditions are less than ideal, and many traders are going to have difficulties navigating and trading in the short term. Overall market conditions this year have been amazing, yet traders have been in a state of both confusion and panic in the short term.
We are back in fear on the fear and greed index, and traders are starting to become more and more fearful in the short term, despite the fact that we are down about 3% from the previous all-time highs.
Please continue to practice safe risk management today, and prepare accordingly for the generalized volatility we are going to experience today, and make the most of the short-term momentum provided to us.
Good luck trading today, and let’s see where the markets decide to take us.
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $765.34
Baseline Support: $768.00
Psychological Support: $760
Previous All-Time High: $779.37
Daily Cloud Support: $752.98
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 9/14/2026
Yesterday was a tough day for the general markets. There was a minor bullish recovery on an intraday basis, but given the volatility we experienced prior to the open and the fact that pretty much the entire chip & semi market got slammed due to AI news, it was a rough day. I would say that the average trader should have been able to profit on an intraday basis, but the average investor was stuck and caught in a minor bearish trend. Regardless of sentiment, though, market conditions were better than expected, and hopefully you all were able to realize some gains!
We started yesterday with $%SPY opening at $759.14, meaning that $SPY dropped about $5 from close on Friday. Obviously less than ideal, but just a part of the market. We watched as it chopped around for a short period of time, and watched as $SPY did reclaim $760 early in the morning before coming back down leading into the lunchtime lull. Conditions were not ideal, and we watched as $SPY went on to make the official low of the day, trading at $757.94.
General market conditions were obviously less than ideal, but thankfully we watched as the markets rallied beautifully leading into the lunchtime lull on positive war news, which resulted in us pushing into the early part of the afternoon, where $SPY went on and made the official high of the day at $763.52.
Conditions at the top were great despite not being able to go green for the day, but regardless of everything, the markets dropped steadily into close, where the entire back half of the afternoon was mild bearish momentum, and we officially ended the day with $SPY trading at $760.88, meaning overall we were down about 0.5%, or down roughly $3.50.
What I will say about yesterday is that despite the weakness everyone incurred, if you were attempting to buy the dip and timed your position out properly, you should have been able to capitalize on the adjustment in the markets, and if you were holding single-name stocks that were relatively strong, traders could have easily realized a significant amount of gains. One member of the Discord realized around $5,000 USD by scalping and trading $NFLX and $RDDT, while others were able to have an amazing time trading $RBLX. So let’s see where the markets want to take us today, and have an amazing time!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 09/15/2026
Today is going to be an absolutely insane day for the general markets. With the difficulties we have experienced over the previous couple of days, traders are in a state of relative fear, despite the fact that we are less than 3% away from a new all-time high on $SPY. Traders are honestly becoming too irrational in the short term as a result of the inconsistencies and neutrality we have been experiencing. Please, do not forget that when market conditions get tough, people overreact, and when people overreact, that is going to give us an amazing opportunity to buy the dip.
I am not saying that the markets are going to rally and make a new all-time high by the end of today, but given the selling that has occurred, once the selling is over, we are going to get a great buy-the-dip opportunity.
The only issue then becomes: where is the bottom, and when can people purchase with confidence?
On a larger scale, I think that this question is going to be extremely difficult to answer given the current placement of the market and the sentiment in the air. But given the opportunities that are presented to us, I do not see a reason why traders cannot capitalize on the intraday momentum that is provided to us.
There has been neutrality over the previous couple of days, but this neutrality shouldn’t scare you. Just sit on your hands while the markets remain neutral, and once there is confirmation of a direction, and under the assumption that you are able to maximize your profit potential in the short term, there is absolutely zero reason why you cannot realize some gains.
Just remember that at these levels, overall markets may look difficult, but if you are looking at single-name stocks that have reasons to break out and move up, it shouldn’t realistically be that difficult to follow a trend. Just make sure that you are practicing safe risk management as well as do everything in your power to maximize your potential.
I am not saying that you should look to take on a significant amount of risk in these conditions, but if you are attempting to scalp and trade on an intraday basis, and have hard stops set on your allocations, it cannot be that hard to be able to do what you’d like while minimizing your risks.
Make smart plays, look at single-name stocks, and find a position that has a lot of potential in the short term. It’s really not that difficult. So just enjoy today and remember that this is going to be the last “normal” trading day this week, as we have the interest rate decision tomorrow, as well as the aftermath happening on Thursday, and the correction occurring on Friday.
So be smart, be safe, and realize some gains in these market conditions. We are going to have an amazing time, so have some fun and make the most of today!
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.

This is going to be the last “normal” trading day this week. Enjoy the momentum while it is provided to us, and simply hope for the best when it comes to general market momentum today. Hopefully we don’t drop below this $760 level on $SPY and reject, but please just make sure to tread lightly and practice safe risk management in the process. Life is good, and so are these market conditions, so let’s make the most of today and realize some gains!
Good luck trading, and let’s see where $SPY takes us!
