HaiKhuu Daily Report - 10/13/2026
Good morning and happy Tuesday! Welcome back, everyone, and I hope you all are ready for another fun day for the markets! Everyone was asleep yesterday, and half of the traders didn’t realize the markets were open, so this will be a fun day! We are seeing some crazy inconsistencies in the markets right now, as $SPY is up slightly at the time of writing this report despite the fact that the KOSPI (South Korean Index) is down approximately 6%.
I am not saying these market conditions are terrible or that traders will have a hard time navigating short-term volatility, but with the way everything is trending, it's hard not to be excited about where conditions are going to take us. Please continue to tread lightly and practice safe risk management, and do everything in your power to maximize your potential.
Life is good, and opportunities will continue to present themselves for us, so continue to practice safe risk management and prepare accordingly for an amazing day.
Let’s see where the markets take us, and realize some gains!
Good luck trading today, and let’s see how $SPY reacts!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $770.21
Baseline Support: $765.61
Psychological Support: $770
Previous All-Time High: $781.62
Daily Cloud Support: $762.18
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 10/12/2026
Yesterday was a slow day for the general markets, but if I am going to be honest, it is almost like we expected that headed into the day. It was a low volume day with extremely narrow ranges that provided us with no opportunities to trade or realize gains with any confidence, but regardless of sentiment, I am so happy and excited that everyone could have capitalized on the conditions of yesterday, and were presented with some fun trades!
We started yesterday with $SPY opening at $778.78. General market conditions were relatively neutral at open, and watched as $SPY quickly popped from the get go, and unfortunately made the official high of the day trading at $779.39. Everything was just “okay” as we watched as the markets quickly shifted, and went on to shift at the top, dropping quickly, but not creating too much selling pressure as $SPY dropped back down to $778. The rest of the morning was slow as $SPY recovered to test $779 once again leading into the lunchtime lull prior to getting rejected once again.
During the afternoon session, the markets started off strong at that $779 range, but we watched as there was continued slow selling into the back half of the afternoon, where $SPY slowly broke $778, and sold off slightly to make the official low of the day trading at $777.06 before bouncing back up once again leading into power hour, where $SPY went on and officially ended the day with $SPY trading at $778.10.
This means that $SPY overall moved 0.06%, where $SPY dropped $0.47 from the previous close, and had an intraday bearish move of $0.68.
So, as much as I want to say that yesterday was a rough day for the markets, it really was not. No one should have lost a significant amount of cash, and honestly it was a perfect day for the majority of traders. Take the day off, low volume, and nothing lost. As predicted, yesterday was an overall wash, so hopefully you all were able to make the most of the volatility and have an amazing time in the process! So let’s see what happens today and have an amazing time!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 10/13/2026
Today is going to be a confusing day for the large majority of traders. WIth the way that everything is trending going into open, I genuinely believe that traders have the potential to realize a significant amount of gains, but it all becomes a matter of which sector are you allocated into, and how confident are you regarding the short term momentum.
Obviously, things could be different and sentiment can shift on an intraday basis, but with the way that the markets stand at the moment, we are seeing strength as $SPY and the markets are treading near all-time highs. Obviously, there is a lot more to the markets than sentiment going into open, but with the placement we are seeing at the moment, I genuinely believe that it is hard not to be optimistic leading into today.
Please, make sure you are practicing safe risk management, but the biggest thing you all need to do is to make sure you are maximizing your profit potential. Yes it is good to limit your downside risk, but the biggest thing you need to make sure you are doing is realizing gains and moving forward. It is good not to fall off of a ladder, but the point of the ladder is to get to the top. Don’t do anything overly risky, and remain rational in this entire process.
I know that I personally am extremely excited about these market conditions and I genuinely cannot wait to see where the markets take us.
The main sector I want you all to be watching today is the chips and semi sector. The korean markets got absolutely slammed yesterday and as a result, chips and semi’s have been slammed again. This is obviously not ideal, but if you are looking for volatility and an organization to trade, all of these massive chip organizations are going to be great allocations.
Yes, some of these companies are going to be bearish while others should be bullish on an intraday basis, so make sure that you are following the momentum when attempting to trade. There is no reason to fight trends, mostly with something like semi’s. You might be right on your sentiment, but even if you have $100k in a play, the trillion dollar companies will completely disregard you and continue to move against your position.
So just tread lightly on today. Many traders are going to have difficulties continually realizing gains here in the short term, but as long as everything is great and traders are able to remain solvent, we can always make the most out of any day that is presented to us, so let’s see what the markets have in store, and realize some gains!!!
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.
