POC Pivot Indicator

The POC Pivot indicator is unique because it doesn't just mark volume concentration — it shows where that volume occurred within each candle. Highlighting when the point of control forms at the bottom of a bullish candle or the top wick of a bearish candle marks moments when volume is strongly aligned with market direction.

POC Pivot analyzes per-candle volume profiles and marks directional patterns by flagging when the single-most-traded price within a candle sits at a candle extreme. That price-location, combined with volume prominence, helps traders assess how strongly market volume aligned with the move. Users can customize the visuals of this indicator, and it can be used on any timeframe. Note: no alerts and no sensitivity customization are available.

How traders use it

The POC Pivot indicator can be used in data analysis to highlight where volume strongly supports the market's direction. For example, if a bullish candle forms with its POC anchored near the low, a trader may interpret this as aggressive buyers absorbing supply and incorporate it into their analysis of a potential long setup. Conversely, when a bearish candle shows the POC stacked at the top wick, it highlights heavy selling pressure at higher prices, which traders can incorporate into their analysis of potential bearish setups. Beyond entries, these patterns also help map out high-volume price zones, providing users with additional reference points for their risk management.
