HaiKhuu Daily Report - 09/25/2026
Good morning and happy Friday! Man, this week has absolutely flown by, and I hope you all are ready for what the markets have in store for us today! Conditions are strong as we have gotten positive war news, and we are up slightly during the pre-market session. Traders should be both comfortable and confident in the short term with their ability to navigate the volatility that is being presented to us.
I hope that you all are ready for what the markets may have in store for us today, but I hope you also understand the volatility we are about to be presented with.
Traders should go into today with the expectation that general market conditions are going to remain extremely volatile at this time and that the irrationality is going to make trading extremely difficult and inconsistent. But I will say that the inconsistencies are what create insane opportunities for us to trade, so please make sure to be around for the back half of the trading day today because I am sure we will find some great 0-DTE option trading strategies as a result.
Good luck trading today, and let’s hopefully realize some life-changing gains!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $762.37
Baseline Support: $762.45
Psychological Support: $760
Previous All-Time High: $779.37
Daily Cloud Support: $763.69
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 9/24/2026
Yesterday was an absolutely nasty and surprising day for the general markets. There was weakness, there was selling, there was neutrality, and then there was positive war news. It was a gross time for the general markets with a wonderful surprise. Hopefully you all were able to capitalize on the momentum that was provided to us in the markets and enjoyed the process.
We started yesterday with $SPY opening at $764.00. Market conditions were weak as $SPY was down roughly $4 from the previous close, but we watched as generalized strength was displayed early in the morning as we quickly rallied to $766 before coming right back down leading into the lunchtime lull. During that time, $SPY made the official low of the day, trading at $763.25 before bouncing back up slightly.
Conditions were essentially neutral from the open at this time; we really did not do much from the open price, then were met with random bullish war news. The strait was opened again, which resulted in the markets rallying once again, and we watched as $SPY went from trading at the low of the day to bouncing back up, recovering 100% of the losses that were incurred; we watched as $SPY went green again for the day (for only a small period of time) and came back down slightly.
The entire afternoon was significantly better than the early morning, but we watched as general market conditions continued to remain relatively neutral and difficult to navigate, despite recovering beautifully. There was continued neutrality into close, and we watched as $SPY officially ended the day trading at $767.18, meaning $SPY was down $0.63 overall, or down 0.09%.
So, what I will say is that the market conditions yesterday were obviously less than ideal, but they continued to provide us with some insane opportunities to scalp and realize some gains in a very short period of time. Life is good, and so are these market conditions, so let’s just see where the markets want to take us on a day like today, and hopefully strong market conditions will continue to present themselves to us!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 09/25/2026
Today is going to be an interesting time for the markets, given the way everything has been trending. We are seeing insane irrationality as markets are selling off randomly and then popping back up on war news. If there is anything that you take away from these market conditions, it is understanding that regardless of your sentiment, direction, and prediction, anything can happen at any time, and that irrationality is why we love the markets.
Please, continue to tread lightly on the difficulties we are experiencing right now, as many traders who attempt to allocate into positions on an intraday basis are going to experience so many inconsistencies with their trading that the large majority of them are going to realize losses. I am not attempting to put anyone down or say anything that is wrong, but when there is neutrality and chop within a consolidation, we are typically going to see weakness being generated as a result, and traders will realize losses in the process.
Again, I am not attempting to be pessimistic in these conditions. I want the markets to rally, and I want everyone to realize a significant amount of gains in the process, but with the way that everything is trending and the way that traders feel the markets should move at this time, we will see so many inconsistencies that trading is going to be difficult, and that is literally the easiest way to put it.
If you are attempting to trade anything today, you need to make sure that you are following market trends. Many people are going to get caught today by attempting to allocate without any confirmation of direction, and many more are going to get burned by theta as there is neutrality. I am not saying that the markets are not going to move; if anything, I can almost guarentee there is going to be irrationality, but with irrationality comes consolidation and neutrality. So wait until there is a confirmation of a direction and you have reason to justify breaking out in any direction.
Please, continue to tread lightly, practice safe risk management, and do everything in your power to realize a significant amount of gains in a short period of time.
I genuinely believe that, in general, on a day like today, there are going to be so many great opportunities presented to us to scalp in the short term. It will all come down to allocating at the right time and taking on the right risk.
This is a perfect segway into my next part.
Before I say anything, just remember that this is not financial advice nor a signal to buy or sell any position. I am not a financial advisor, nor should this be considered financial advice.
But I genuinely believe that today is going to be another amazing day full of opportunities to scalp here in the short term. I believe that 0-DTE option contracts towards the end of the trading day are going to continue to provide us with an irrational risk-to-reward ratio that is heavily in our favor, and is going to be the best gamble that you can take throughout the entire week.
I want to emphasize that I would not even consider this a “speculative play”; this is so far past that I would consider this simply gambling.
But, if you are looking to take on some risk in the markets, 0-DTE option contracts towards the end of the trading day will provide you with the best risk-to-reward ratio in the entire market. You will want to look for an organization that has the potential to have a large directional move in the final minutes of the trading day, as well as an option contract that is ATM and is trading for pennies on the dollar.
I do not know what will happen around open with an organization by close, but at the same time, I can see that an organization that is trading at $150 has an option contract that is $0.25 OTM and is trading for $0.30. So, you risk your $30 in hopes that your $15,000 of bullish exposure goes ITM and rallies, providing you with an insane return % at the end of the day.
Again, I need to remind you that in the case that you are allocated improperly or take on the wrong risk, you will ultimately lose 100% of your capital almost instantly, but at the same time, with the way that everything is set up, it is almost hard not to be excited about these market conditions. So please, take on proper risk, and keep your eyes out for us. There are many organizations that will sell off or show neutrality today that we can capitalize on, but it all really comes down to being able to time your position properly and realize a significant amount of gains in a short period of time.
Make sure to tune back at least 2 hours before markets close and come find some absolutely insane plays with us!
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.
