On today's DecisionPoint Trading Room episode Carl and Erin discuss Friday's "Upside Initiation Climax" and whether it can be trusted. With market follow through tepid, they discuss the implications of this very bullish signal.

Carl reveals his sentiment of the overall market and covers Bitcoin, Gold, Interest Rates, Crude Oil and the Dollar.

As always he gives us his view of the Magnificent Seven stocks and their outlooks. One in particular shows a bearish double top.

Carl also brought a few charts for his "Grab Bag" discussion. He pointed out a nearing IT Trend Model Dark Cross Neutral Signal. He looked at Texas Instruments (TXN), Salesforce (CRM) and Motorola (MSI).

Erin walked us through sector rotation with a discussion of all of the sectors and their Price Momentum Oscillators (PMOs). See where new strength is coming in from...hint: think defensive.

Finally the pair finish the program with a look at viewers symbol requests including views of the weekly charts.
