The Volume Point of Control (VPOC) is a key tool for stock traders. It marks the price with the highest traded volume in a session. This reveals "fair value"—where most activity occurred. Price often returns here. In volatile stocks like PLUG (Plug Power), VPOC spots support, resistance, and breakaways. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction.

You know how it goes. The stock is rising nicely and then crash, it falls sharply and develops a price waterfall as it descends to a level never seen before. And then it appears to languish at this level with no hope of recovery. But slowly it does and soon breaks higher developing a bullish trend. The consolidation phase is the accumulation phase where the market makers are doing just that and preparing for the next major campaign for the stock, and hence the reason these price patterns can be so profitable as you are buying a stock at a low price along with the market makers.

One of the Most Powerful Ways to Stay in the Trend Using Volume Price Analysis
Staying in a trend is one of the hardest parts of trading. Many exit too early on pullbacks. Volume price analysis (VPA) solves this. It confirms trend strength. High volume on trend-direction candles shows conviction. This lets you ride moves longer.
