HaiKhuu Daily Report - 12/17/2025
Good morning, and happy Wednesday! Happy Humpday! This week has flown by, and man, oh man, has this been a wild and volatile time for the markets. I hope you're all prepared accordingly for today, because this is going to be an interesting day! We’ve seen three days of bearish momentum, and we are finally coming up on daily supports, which should hopefully provide the markets with more confidence.
These market conditions have been extremely volatile, and traders have had a difficult time capitalizing on these conditions, but opportunities have been amongst us. Hopefully, you all were able to capitalize on these market conditions and are ready for another fun day.
Markets are up slightly at the time of writing this report, and we have reclaimed the $680 support level. The real question is going to be, are we able to retain this level, and how long will it take before we finally break out again?
Hopefully, the breakout happens today, and we go on to make a new all-time high, but just be careful, as I genuinely am concerned about chopping here at this $680 magnet zone. So please, if you are attempting to trade or do anything in these market conditions, just make sure to maximize the potential and opportunities presented to you, and have an amazing time!
Good luck trading today, and let’s watch as $SPY breaks out towards new all-time highs!
The updated $SPY daily levels are as follows:
Conversion Line Support: $682.12
Baseline Support: $670.05
Psychological Support: $680
Daily Cloud Support: $673.36
Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 12/16/2025
Yesterday was a funky day for the markets. Our magic crystal ball was correct once again, where I voiced that my concerns were that $SPY was going to have a relatively larger intraday movement, but show neutrality on a larger timeframe, and man oh man, was that prediction spot on. So, I hope you all were able to capitalize on the conditions of yesterday and had a great time!
So, we started yesterday with $SPY trading at $679.14. Conditions at open were relatively neutral as $SPY opened the day slightly down. We watched as $ SPY moved quickly up, going slightly green within the first half hour of the day, hitting an official high of $681.07, before markets essentially sold off for 4 hours straight afterward.
$SPY continued to chop and drop between 10 AM - 1:30 PM, and we watched as $SPY went on and made the official low of the day, trading at $674.99, and bouncing BEAUTIFULLY from the bottom.
We watched as starting the afternoon, conditions were relatively weak, but in two hours, $SPY went fromt he low of the day, to rallying back up and going black for the day, before the markets came back down ever so slightly into close, where we officially ended the day with $SPY trading at $678.87, down approximately $2 for the day, or down 0.27%.
The interesting thing is that $SPY moved by $0.25 overall between open and close yesterday. There were opportunities to trade in both directions, but as warned and predicted, the markets remained neutral overall. So, let’s just see where the markets take us today and have some fun in the process!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 12/17/2025
Today should be an interesting time for the markets. As we’ve stated before, $SPY is at this $680 magnet zone, which is going to make market conditions extremely choppy and difficult to navigate in the short term. Hopefully, traders don’t have a difficult time due to the inconsistencies in these market conditions, but at the same time, given how markets are moving, it wouldn't surprise me if we continue to chop around at this level until we get a directional move.
I am still optimistic about these market conditions and believe we will break out heavily by the end of the year, but that is simply a tinfoil-hat prediction.
There is so much uncertainty in the markets, but one thing I will say is that I do like that we are moving back out of extreme fear on the fear and greed index. So, if you are grasping for straws or looking for any bullish confirmation bias, just know that we are NOT in fear anymore on the fear and greed index, which is the final step before the markets reach greed!
Ideally, we don’t just chop here at this level and watch as traders pay the market makers. That’s obviously not ideal, and would be an unfortunate time, but we all know of people who have lost their money doing specifically this.
So please, just make sure you practice safe risk management. I say this often, but I’ll elaborate some more. I believe that too many people are taking too many risks with the exposure they have in their portfolios. This is typically not due to allocations in terrible organizations (it is at times), but mostly the issues I am seeing with risk management are overexposure in a portfolio, as well as blindly purchasing option contracts. I’ve seen people before with a $2,000 account attempt to buy $2,000 worth of highly OTM option contracts and watch as their portfolios implode in a matter of minutes, without them even understanding why it happened. So please, be smart.
A tip that I have for you regarding risk management is to set a stop as quickly as possible and to look to minimize your downside risks. When I personally enter a position, I love getting in right at a support level, attempting to catch a bounce, and, if the play catches it, adjusting my stop to break even. At this point, I am literally riding risk free exposure in the organization I am watching and allocated into, and then in the case it continues to break out, easy, adjust my stop into profit, or in the case there is a sell off against my position, it wont impact me because I have a stop at break even, meaning there is absolutely “zero” risk on the table at that point. So, just something to consider!
So, let’s talk game plan now for $MSOS. We are up significantly from entry and are awaiting possible news of a Marijuana reclassification. If there is a reclassification, $MSOS and all these MJ stocks are going to move up heavily in a short period of time. But I am just going to warn you right now that, even though these conditions look great, there is a non-zero chance Trump doesn’t even bring up MJ, resulting in all these organizations falling 10-20-30% overnight.
My personal plans are to most likely exit 100% of my $MSOS position before the end of the day. I do not believe that it is worth the risk, as my $MSOS positions are up between 30% & 60% each at the moment. Obviously, I want to gamble a little and speculate on these conditions. Still, at the same time, with the general uncertainty we are seeing, I would rather regret selling and miss out on $ than regret NOT selling and lose a bunch of money. I will exit 100% of my equity position by the end of the day, and if I am feeling frisky, I may just decide to keep a couple of my calls.
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 only provide us with some insane opportunities to trade, and we watch as the markets only continue to breakout and rally from this point. Obviously, that is more idealistic than realistic, but at the same time, we can try and be as optimistic as possible and make the most out of these conditions! As always, please make sure to practice safe risk management, and good luck, specifically to anyone who is attempting to trade any MJ today!
Good luck trading, and let’s see where $SPY takes us!
