EUR/USD Turns Bearish Moving Through the VPOC
EUR/USD turns bearish moving through the VPOC. This key level acted as support. Price broke lower with conviction. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirmed the shift to downside momentum.
The EUR/USD continues to look bearish as it sits on support between 1.0885 & 1.0890 & just below the VPOC the yellow line on the volume point of control indicator. This level has now been breached on good volume and should take the pair to 1.0863. In addition the trend monitor has also transitioned from blue to red and with the US unemployment data coming up shortly, this could provide further downwards momentum if the numbers are on target or better than expected.
The forecast this time around is 271k against a previous of 274k and whilst this is an important number it is the backwash from Janet Yellen’s US dollar positive comments which continue to drive the US dollar higher, coupled as always with ongoing concerns over the Greek debt issues, which have yet to be resolved – if ever!
What the VPOC Break Means
The Volume Point of Control (VPOC) is the price with highest traded volume. It often holds as fair value. A break below on high volume shows distribution. Sellers dominate. Quantum VPOC indicator on MT5 or NinjaTrader highlights this clearly.

The VPOC Indicator on NinjaTrader: Understanding Volume Point of Control, HVN, and LVN
The Volume Point of Control (VPOC) indicator is essential for volume price analysis (VPA) traders. It marks the price level with the highest traded volume in a session. This reveals “fair value”. Price often returns here. Quantum’s VPOC on NinjaTrader plots it clearly for fast decisions.
What Is VPOC and How It Works
VPOC comes from Market Profile theory. It identifies the price where most volume occurred. High acceptance at this level. In a daily session, VPOC shows institutional focus. Price gravitates back—acting as support in uptrends or resistance in downtrends. Shift VPOC across timeframes for dynamic views.
High Volume Nodes (HVN) and Low Volume Nodes (LVN)
The VPOC is part of broader volume profile:
- High Volume Nodes (HVN): Areas with concentrated volume. Price lingers. Strong acceptance—acts as magnets or barriers. HVN often becomes support/resistance.
- Low Volume Nodes (LVN): Areas with thin volume. Price moves through quickly. Weak acceptance—signals acceleration or reversals on retest.
Importance in Trading
HVN shows professional activity—reliable levels for bounces. LVN highlights rejection—price rejects and accelerates away. VPA confirms: high volume at HVN validates strength. Low volume at LVN warns of imbalance. Quantum VPOC indicator on NinjaTrader makes nodes visual. Use for entries, stops, or targets.
These levels reveal market structure. Combine with Trend Monitor for direction. Anna Coulling’s VPA approach uses VPOC/HVN/LVN for high-probability setups. Quantum tools enhance precision.
