HaiKhuu Daily Report 12/20/2022
Good morning and Happy Tuesday! Hope you all are well rested because the markets are looking tough at the moment. During the futures session, the markets continued to sell throughout the night, with $SPY reaching the point of down approximately 1%. It was interesting seeing this selling be bought back up by the time we woke up.
At the time of writing this report, $SPY is holding its closing price, trading at approximately $380. This is going to be an interesting day for the markets as we are at a point in the markets where we are either going to break out or sell off. Ideally, $SPY is able to hold this $380 level and move back up accordingly, but please be careful because in the case we sell off, this selling is going to be extreme into the end of the year. Be smart, be diligent and make the most out of any opportunities that are available.
Thoughts & Comments from 12/19/2022
Yesterday was a tough day for the markets, with there not being many opportunities to realize gains of any significance, but C’est la vie. $SPY opened the day trading at $383.41 but showed relative weakness. $SPY was actively testing $383.50 at open but was not able to hold that level, with the high of the day reaching $383.82.
After rejecting that $383.50 resistance level, markets sold off significantly and continued to chop around and sell off throughout the entire day.
With $SPY testing the $381 intraday support, we, unfortunately, were not able to hold those levels, and as a result, the markets went on to sell off even more. We went on to continue making lows of the day as $SPY sold off. We went on to make an official low of day trading at $378.29 and thankfully moved up slightly into close.
It was a rough day for the markets, with $SPY officially closing at $380.02, down −3.25 (0.85%) with an intraday movement of -0.9%.
Tough day with many opportunities to, unfortunately, get hurt, but a great opportunity for anyone who went short.
Hopefully, you all are ready for today and are excited to seize any opportunities that are available.
Thoughts & Comments for Today 12/20/2022
Today SHOULD be an interesting day for the markets. I personally expect that today will be extremely choppy while presenting us with many opportunities to trade. But expect that the majority of traders today will have a difficult time realizing any significant amount of gains today.
Please be on the lookout for $SPY $380 because, at this current state, we will either reject $380 and come down significantly or break above $380 and move up accordingly. I personally want the markets to move up accordingly, but for safety, I will recommend that everyone get strong allocations, but make sure you are hedged accordingly in the case that markets sell-off.
I am already in some risk equity positions & bullish contracts in the markets. Assuming we see a significant amount of selling today, I will take a loss on those allocations and remain in a relatively neutral portfolio but trade when the opportunities are present.
Please just be safe while trading today. Make sure you are practicing safe risk management and are hedged accordingly. Take advantage of opportunities to trade and realize some gains, don’t be greedy, and take free equity while you can. Free equity, over the course of time, will outperform the majority of portfolios, so build out your general market portfolio and have a fun time.
Be smart and have fun trading today!
If you want to watch any of my allocations, they will be posted live in the HaiKhuu Discord.
