Naked Points of Control (nPOC)

A Naked POC is a POC from a previous profile that price has not revisited since its completion. These are called Naked Points of Control (nPOC).

POCs in general represent areas of high acceptance from the market, a price level that allowed the market to be efficient in function, an area of either high activity (Time spent) or participation (volume). As a result nPOCs can seem very much like a magnets on the chart as the market is generally drawn towards efficiency.

That is why most days the prior days POC is retested to see if it is accepted as value. A rejection or reclaim of an nPOC can be an indicative of potential shifts in “fair-value”.

On a volume profile a POC is called a vPOC and a Naked POC is called a nvPOC. On a volume profile a nvPOC can indicate price levels where larger participants made a transaction in the market – price levels they may seek to defend.
