How to trade using Value Areas and POC?A few key concepts when using Market Profile in your trading: 1) Point of Control (POC) acts as price magnets, as they represent the price level where most time was spent during a trading day. Price tends to gravitate towards them. 2) Naked (Not visited) POC acts as stronger magnets than visited POCs. 3) When price enters / breaks into a Value Area, which represents a range of "fair value", price tends to visit the other end of the Value Area. For example above, the price breaks up from the Value Area Low before end of day yesterday, hit the Value Area High this morning. You definitely won't find these key levels and ranges with traditional support and resistance lines drawing methods. Using Market Profile will give you the edge to become a better trader.

SPX hitting huge excess area, which way will it go next?As you can see, the price is sitting in a large excess range, trying to push higher with the bullish momentum since the opening. Looks like it is feeling lots of selling pressure. But if we can break up and into the higher naked value area, there is great opportunity for a bull run to the value area high. Otherwise, we might go back to the value area from yesterday's price action. What's your take?? Will we go up or down?

BTCUSDT Swing Short Targets 20900, 20200, Naked POCsSwing shorts to 20900 and 20200 are a very good bet. These are NPOCs from July 5, 6, and 7. It is rare when the price does not return to a previous POCs, so they are very good targets. POCs from HTFs (higher timeframes) are especially good targets because the higher time means more volume during that time period than LTFs (lower time frames) The volume at a POC is too significant for traders to not bring the price back to it. Until the price the returns to that POC, the POC is naked. On Bybit's BTCUSDT perp market, the daily POCs from July 5, 6, and 7 are naked on a 1 tick bid/ask profile chart. The POCs are 20900 : July 7 20200: July 5 AND July 6 POCs (naked and virgin) POCs are points of control. They are prices that had the highest volume during a time period. The high volume at that price means traders are strongly motivated to bring the price back to that POC value. After a time period has closed, until the price returns to the POC of that period, in the jargon of order flow trading, the POC is called a naked or a virgin POC.

Rejected! Next Stop Point Of Control!When taking a look at the S&P500 on the Daily TF, we can see that there was a clear rejection from the Volume area high (Blueish line above). The next stop will be the point of control (Red line). Most of the market does follow this chart so before you short, double-check their chart. Every day the charts provide new information.

GBPUSD - Buy Compression 🚨This should be very obvious compression to you. Price may give an initial lure but long term sells aren't ready until we get a strong liquidity grab into the supply zones above. I will be searching for buys to join banks for when they decide to complete compression. The daily and weekly POC are very close to each other, this zone had the most volume because it was full of sellers trying to use the area as resistance. If price pulls back and uses this area as a fresh demand, I will be going long. I will keep you updated all day.
