DecisionPoint Alert Logo

Today Carl and Erin cover the topic of Out of Balance Volume (OBV), which indicates volume trends. This came to our attention when we discovered a negative OBV divergence on the SPY chart.

Carl completes a weekly chart review of Magnificent 7 stocks to provide a mid-term picture of their strengths and weaknesses. He also tells us about his participation in IJR, a small-cap index ETF.

Carl first reviews market trends and conditions through a discussion of key DecisionPoint indicators. He covers special discussions on Bitcoin, Crude Oil, Dollar and Gold charts. Erin then looks at several sectors, focusing on regional banks (KREs).

The remainder of the program was devoted to symbol requests.
