HaiKhuu Daily Report - 11/19/2025
Good morning, and happy Wednesday.
Wow. These conditions are genuinely disgusting, and I hope you all are ready for what might be an absolutely disgusting day for the markets. We are starting to see many mildly bearish signals starting to hit the markets. This might be a fake-out, or this might be the beginning of the end. I genuinely do not believe this is the beginning of the end, nor do I believe this selling will continue, but it is my responsibility to tell you all the market conditions and how everything is trending.
This is going to be an extremely volatile day for the markets, so please prepare accordingly. We have FOMC minutes coming out later today as well as $NVDA earnings after hours. I am not stating that the markets are going to do anything specifically, but we have two volatility events coming up in the near future that I do need to warn you all about, just for general safety.
So, given how markets are looking right now, on a purely technical basis, I am going to tell you all to be extremely careful and tread lightly. I am not saying the markets are going to dive heavily, but please assume market conditions will continue to weaken, as traders will be confused and mildly bearish going into today.
I genuinely hope that the markets rally from here and provide us with a phenomenal life, but again, as bad as this sounds, it all comes down to you, how you allocate, and your ability to navigate these conditions to realize some gains.
Good luck trading today and let’s see if $SPY recovers!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Resistance: $670.41
Baseline Resistance: $671.43
Psychological Support/Resistance: $660
Daily Cloud Resistance: $661.99
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 11/18/2025
Yesterday was an absolutely disgusting day with some insane volatility that you could have very easily capitalized on. Traders printed and traders got slashed while attempting to trade yesterday, but such is simply life. Markets were in a state of confusion and high volatility. So, hopefully you all were able to mitigate any serious losses and did everything in your power to realize significant gains yesterday!
So, we started yesterday with $SPY opening at $662.13. Market conditions were alright as $SPY moved up slightly at open, to be met instantly with some bearish momentum. $SPY broke $660 within the first half hour or so, and went on to make the official low of the day at $655.86 at the bottom.
Conditions were weak leading into the afternoon, but, as a result of that weakness, we watched as $SPY quickly bounced from the bottom to make a relative high at $662 around Noon EST. We came back down slowly once again to break $660 for the final time in the day, before rallying beautifully to the official high of the day, trading at $665.11.
Everything was beautiful at the top, but then we watched as Power Hour was simply filled with bearish momentum. $SPY continued to drop from the top, where there was nothing but bearish momentum, into close. $SPY dropped about $5 during power hour, ending the day at $660.08, down $5.60, or 0.85%.
I am not saying that these market conditions are perfect, nor that everyone was able to realize significant gains, but opportunities were consistently available to us. Traders could, and should, have easily realized some gains while attempting to trade. Many individuals who got caught in short-term momentum were unfortunately burned a time and a half, so such is simply life. Hopefully, the markets rally from here and we have an amazing time in the process!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 11/19/2025
Today is genuinely going to be a hectic day for the markets. I am going into today hoping that the markets recover and that this is all a massive fake-out, but given how everything is trending, I am less than optimistic. If you are attempting to trade, please tread extremely lightly in these market conditions and understand that, genuinely, traders will have difficulties as a result of these conditions.
Please, whatever you do while trading today, tread lightly, practice safe risk management, and mitigate your risk.
I will first discuss the bearish market conditions, then I will discuss the volatility events we are expecting today.
So, again as I stated this morning. Market conditions are less than ideal, as we are seeing many bearish signs emerging. It is not that these markets are terrible, but it is as a result of these market conditions weakening as traders become more fearful. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as I genuinely believe this is going to be a buy-the-dip opportunity, but the issue is: where do we go from here?
If $SPY continues to break down, conditions will only get weaker. I hate saying this, but that is the reality of the situation. Just please, tread lightly, practice safe risk management, and do anything and everything in your power to survive. This is all going to become an amazing buy-the-dip opportunity, the issue comes back towards
The two major events people will be watching today are the FOMC minutes and $NVDA earnings after hours. Minutes should not have a significant impact on markets unless they state something extremely out of line with our general expectations. The biggest thing that people need to watch out for is $NVDA earnings.
As a result of $NVDA earnings after hours today, I am expecting to see lower volume across the markets as traders are attempting to take off risk. But just understand that everything will come down to $NVDA today.
If $NVDA earnings are slightly worse than expected, or completely miss, unless Jensen is able to save our souls, expect the $NVDA to come down heavily and the markets to follow suit.
If $NVDA earnings are stronger than expected or they announce a stock buyback, I expect a nice-sized move in $NVDA, which should push the markets higher afterward. So please tread extremely lightly while trading in these market conditions, and do everything in your power to survive, because, as bad as this sounds, many traders will get wiped out as a result. So please, tread lightly, practice safe risk management, and have an amazing 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, market conditions strengthen from here, but this again is going to be one of those times where I just have to be realistic. Market conditions are less than ideal, and we are seeing the first of many bearish signs necessary to state that we are in a bearish reversal. I hope that this is all genuinely one fake out, as the markets are preparing to rip towards a new all-time high, but just remember everything comes down to $NVDA earnings after hours today.
Good luck trading, and let’s see where $NVDA takes us!
