HaiKhuu Daily Report - 12/15/2025
Good morning, and happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for today! Markets are up nicely at the time of writing this report. Traders are confused and conflicted by the volatility they experienced last week, and we are preparing accordingly for what is going to be a great day.
If you are attempting to trade today, good luck; we will need it.
Opportunities will be presented to us left and right, and conditions are going to be interesting, taking advantage of today. I am expecting a difficult day for the markets, where people do not know if they want to be hyper bullish or hyper bearish; all we know is that things will be volatile.
Please practice safe risk management and mitigate all the general risks that you are taking right now, as these are the conditions that genuinely wipe traders out. So please, be smart and protect your bottom line.
Just know that during increased volatility, you are going to see losses stack up quicker, be more sudden, and generate larger losses in a shorter period of time. But in the same vein, gains generated will be quicker and larger. So it all comes down to when you allocate, where you allocate, and how you allocate.
We have many earnings and economic events happening this week, so make sure you check out the WEEKLY PREVIEW and prepare accordingly for this week!
Good luck trading this week, and let’s see a NEW all-time high!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $684.21
Baseline Support: $670.05
Psychological Support: $680
Daily Cloud Support: $676.60
Thoughts & Comments from Last Week
Last week was a volatile and absolutely beautiful day for the overall markets. Traders could have easily realized a significant amount of gains, while at the same time, traders were absolutely destroyed. It all came down to how you allocated, when you allocated, and where you allocated. We did watch as $SPY went on and made a new all-time high, and I genuinely hope that you all were able to realize a significant amount of gains as a result of these conditions!
So, we started last week with $SPY trading at $686.40. Market conditions were strong leading into the week as traders were optimistic, and we were met with instant bearish momentum. We sold off throughout Monday, watched as there was a mild recovery into Tuesday, to only sell off and chop once again, leading into Wednesday.
Conditions leading into Wednesday were an interesting time, mixing generalized sentiment, where $SPY went on to rally hard as a result of FOMC and Jerome Powell cutting the interest rates by 25 bps, but watched as $ORCL took a swing at the AI bubble after hours. Anything gained during the FOMC event was unfortunately lost after hours, but that was offset by some beautiful, insane bullish momentum on Thursday!
On Thursday, market conditions were absolutely beautiful, providing us all with some amazing opportunities to realize significant gains in a very short period of time, as markets recovered and rallied, looking strong. After hours, we did get positive news from AVGO earnings for a little bit before that movement up was quickly corrected, but in that process, $SPY did go on and make a new UNofficial all-time high trading at $691.20.
Friday on the other hand…. sheesh. We attempted to warn you that it was a possibility that the markets would sell off. It was an extremely unlikely scenerio, but it happend regardless, where $SPY started the day trading at $688.87, after coming down from the previous all-time high, and we watched as the entire market rejected that high, and went on to sell off absolutely everything, coming back down to test the $680 magnet zone and had a difficult time in the process.
We ended up with $SPY dropping about $7.50 on Friday, ending the week at $681.76.
I am not saying that it was a crazy week for the overall markets, as the overall movement was really insignificant as $SPY dropped less than $5 from Monday open to Friday close, but at the same time, we also watched as $SPY went on to make a NEW all-time high, and took many people out on the selling that incurred. But regardless, it was another insane and volatile time for the markets. I hope you all survived last week and are ready to see what the markets have in store for us this week! Let’s make the most out of these market conditions and have a great time!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 12/15/2025
Today should be a quick day for the markets, in my opinion. I genuinely believe we are going to see an extremely volatile and directional move in the markets. The question is, which direction are we headed, and how much can we make in the process?
So, going into today, if I am just being completely honest with each and every one of you, please go into today expecting difficult market conditions. Obviously, I only want the markets to be hyper bullish and provide us with general confidence, but at the same time, with the way the markets have moved and the way everything is trending, I just want to warn you all.
It genuinely would not surprise me if one of two things happened: One - Markets go on and make a new all-time high, or Two - Markets go sell back off and hit the $680 magnet zone on $SPY. Again, obviously, I do not want the markets to come back down, sell off everything that was generated during the pre-market session, and risk the stability that is being created right now, but understand that it is a reality.
But, just know that in the case that $SPY does show strength and starts to break back out, you should NOT fight the momentum. In the case that this strength continues, I am genuinely expecting to see a new all-time high and a continuation of this beautiful bullish momentum.
The only thing that concerns me leading into today is the general market chop. With the confusion that people are experiencing right now, it would not surprise me in the case there was massive confusion on how people want to allocate today. Are people going to FOMO in as markets are moving up during the pre-market session, signalling that we are going to make a new all-time high? Are markets going to sell off and hit that magnet zone? Or are we just going to stay in a relatively confused point, where those who are holding long equities in the markets can simply continue to retain their exposure, or are we going to chop and watch as traders consistently lose money?
My concern isn’t when the markets go up or down a bunch, which gives us a clear idea of where the markets are taking us.
The biggest thing is making sure you practice safe risk management and do not get chopped out of your positions.
Over the weekend, I had a user ask me a couple of questions in regards to options. What I want to say about options in these market conditions is not that they are not profitable, I would say that the large majority of successful & confident traders should have zero issues attempting to realize some gains, but the issue really comes down to how comfortable those individuals are with the amount of risk they are taking on.
I am assuming that the large majority of individuals cannot afford to take the risk necessary to trade options, yet still continue to trade options because they feel that it is a cheap alternative to purchasing equities and retaining exposure. Yes, in principle, it is the “same” as you are able to get a positive delta in the direction, but there is so much more involved with options trading that the majority of people simply do not understand. Most people do not understand how options are simply priced and how they move. If you cannot understand the extreme basics of options trading, you should not do it. And even if you DO understand options, you still should not trade them.
Again, I am not saying that there is zero chances when it comes to trading options, but I would say that the large majority of individuals will fail due to options trading, and that is what causes traders to get overly emotional and lose as a result of these market conditions. So stay away from options, and stick with the safer choice of trading and allocating into equities.
If anyone has any more questions, I would be happy to talk about why equities are better than options later, but for now, just sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's market momentum!
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, markets will continue to rally and provide us with general market strength. Obviously, if that is the case or not is a different scenerio, but with the confidence that is in the markets, and the opportunities that are amongst us, it would not surprise me in the case we saw another volatile directional move. So please, be smart, be safe, and make the most out of today!
Good luck trading, and let’s start this week strong!!!
