Point of Control

What it means

Point of Control identifies the price where the session did the most business, often treated as a practical fair-value reference.

What to watch

It is a context level, not a magic magnet. Strong trend sessions can move away from the point of control and not revisit it until much later.

Where traders usually run into this

Point of Control is most useful once it is tied to a concrete page, chart decision, or workflow question.
