POC

Market and Volume Profile take the data from each day’s trading session and organize it to help us understand who is in control of the market and what is perceived as fair value.

On the Volume Profile, the POC or Point of Control is considered the fairest price to do business in auction theory. It is the price level where the greatest amount of volume in the session (or combination of sessions) you are analyzing traded.

On the Market Profile, the POC or Point of Control is the widest point of the day’s distribution closest to the center of the profile, indicating where price spent the most time during the session or combination of sessions. It’s important to pay attention to the volume POC for price and the market profile POC for context.
