HaiKhuu Daily Report - 11/17/2025
Good morning, and happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for what should hopefully be a beautiful week for the markets! $SPY is up slightly at the time of writing this report, but, man, oh man, has this been an extremely sketchy year for everyone involved.
This hopefully should be a good day for the markets, emphasis on hopefully and should.
You will hear a lot of that from traders attempting to be optimistic over the next couple of trading days.
But hey, at least for now, $SPY is up at the time of writing this report, and thankfully, we don’t have to start a week with “welp, this is going to be another tough week” as $SPY drops $10 during the pre-market session. At the time of writing this report, $SPY is up just under $4, and market conditions are strong leading into today. Cryptocurrencies have had a minor recovery from the bottom, but they still don't look strong.
Traders should be excited about this week, as conditions are naturally more bullish, but it will be exceptionally volatile due to ongoing earnings and economic news. If you have not already, please check out the WEEKLY PREVIEW to see the craziness of these market conditions and prepare accordingly.
We have many major earnings this week, the biggest of which is $NVDA. So, pray for $NVDA as that is genuinely going to be the make-or-break of this week. So let’s prepare accordingly and have some fun!
Good luck trading this week, and let’s see what the markets have in store for us!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $673.08
Baseline Support: $671.27
Psychological Support: $670
Daily Cloud Support: $663.21
Thoughts & Comments from Last Week
Man, last week was an absolutely TERRIBLE time for the general market conditions. Opportunities were presented to us left and right, but many traders had an extremely unfortunate time as $SPY pushed through extreme fear and rode through some bearish momentum. We watched as traders had an insane opportunity to scalp and realize a significant amount of gains throughout the week; it was just a matter of capitalizing on the conditions and having a great time!! Hopefully, you all were able to make the most of these market conditions and have a great time!!!
So, we started the week with market conditions looking alright. $SPY opened the week at $677.21. Market conditions were strong, yet traders were conflicted. We gapped up from Friday, and honestly, conditions looked strong early in the week. On Monday, we rallied up towards $SPY $680, remained relatively strong, and retained that level throughout the first half of the week. Markets continued to trend slowly higher, reaching the week's official high at $684.96 on Wednesday.
Market conditions at the top were relatively strong, traders were optimistic, and that's when the magic began.
After markets closed on Wednesday, the US Government reopened, sparking extreme optimism that, in reality, turned into a selling event. Everyone was excited for the markets to rip and rally up, so as expected, the markets dove heavily as a result. $SPY opened the day on Thursday at $680.50 and ended the day at $672.04.
This was a terrible way to go into Friday, where on Friday, we gapped down once again, going to open the day on Friday at $665.08, and watched as we rallied from the bottom,, went green overall for the day, then dropped $4 from the top to officially end the week with $SPY trading at $671.93. Despite a massive $12 intraday candle on Friday, $SPY had absolutely zero movement between Thursday and Friday, and we ended the week down $5, or just shy of 0.8%.
Again, I am not saying that the market conditions of last week were perfect in any way, shape, or form, but man, oh man, was that an amazing time with opportunities presented to us left and right. I hope you all were able to realize significant gains with ease and had a fantastic time in the process. This will be interesting to see where the markets take us from this point, but regardless, I genuinely do believe this is going to be a great day, so let’s see where the markets take us this week and have some fun!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 11/17/2025
Today should be a fun day for the markets. Whether it is or not is another question, but given how the ball lies, markets look strong, traders should be optimistic, and we should all prepare to have a fantastic time in the markets today. We are seeing some strength in the cryptocurrency markets after a heavy decline, and we are seeing a significant improvement in overall trader sentiment. We are still down from all-time highs, but given these general market conditions, traders should be optimistic heading into today, which should lead to some positive buying.
I will say, we are in extreme fear on the fear-and-greed index; conditions are “less than optimal” right now, just as a result of current market sentiment. Regardless of how traders feel about these market conditions, it is wrong to say they are not strong. Perspectively, they are not as strong as they were previously, but at these levels and prices, it is incorrect to say we do not have generalized market strength at this time.
So, it will be interesting to see how these market conditions treat us, and we are excited to see what happens over the next couple of trading days. As I have said before, I am still generally bullish in the markets. I am not saying I “advise” purchasing at this level, but given how markets are trending, it is almost hard not to be optimistic. We are less than 3% away from a new all-time high. Conditions are strong, as traders are confident, and we just need to survive long enough to prosper if the markets break out.
The issues and difficulties come from the short-term management and navigation of these conditions. Many traders are going to have a tough time due to general market inconsistencies, but they should be surprised by both the strength and the confusion in the markets. So, now it is just a matter of making the most of these conditions and having a great time in the process.
Just please be careful attempting to capitalize on these conditions. I am not saying the markets are bad, nor that we need to dive, but I expect many traders today will have difficulty with the short-term chop.
If anything, the best move, in my opinion, today is to day trade and capitalize on short-term momentum. You can enjoy the directional move you’ve picked, as well as not have to worry about navigating that short-term volatility that is going to be difficult for many traders to capitalize on with confidence.
So just make some smart decisions while attempting to trade today, and do NOT fight any trends. In the case the markets come down, do not attempt to catch a falling knife, and in the case the markets move up, do not attempt to short a new high.
Just enjoy the momentum and have a great time!
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.

Wrap up
Hopefully, we see some insane bullish momentum after markets open with a continuation of this strength and optimism. It would be great to see $SPY rally back up to the $680 zone and breakout this Wednesday after hours on positive news of $NVDA. But regardless of what these markets are doing, and which organizations you are invested in, please just make sure to practice safe risk management and make the most out of these conditions. I am expecting many to have a difficult time, but such is simply life. We will have fun and make the most out of this week!
Good luck trading, and let’s have an amazing time!
