It's definitely psych. Sike is for people who also write should of.

In the meme-verse, I feel like "sike" is much more common (eg, "say sike right now")

While "psych" is technically correct, the worst kind of correct, my preference would be to spell it "syke." "Psych" and "sike" just don't have enough meme energy to them and could be more easily misinterpreted as meaning something else.

Having lived through that era as the slang making demographic, I would say that "sike" or "syke" is specific to the context of having just said something to fool someone. "Dude you want my bike? You can have it." "Really?" "Sike!" See also the obnoxious drawn out "NOOOOT" you'd get at the time.

You would still use "psych" in terms of psyching up a team, psyching out an opponent, etc.

You are 100% correct.

I'd just spell it "ough".
