Simply put, it's the price level where the "big players" are most active. I'm not talking about retail traders. I'm talking about smart money. The traders on Wall Street. To find the point of control, I use a volume profile indicator that displays the amount of volume accumulated at each individual price point. These horizontal bars are also known as "volume nodes" and some traders refer to them as a "distribution curve." When I spot where big banks and fund managers are slowly building positions, I know that price is a potential launchpad for a major move. You see… Wall Street can't just click "buy" like me and you. These institutions carry massive positions - millions of shares - so they have to scale in slowly. Move too fast, and they drive up their own cost basis. That accumulation zone becomes the point of control. Take my recent trade on CAVA, for example. In my Monday Morning Watchlist video, I identified a high point of control at $81 and a lower point of control at $79 on CAVA's 195-minute chart. That $79-$81 band was a clear support zone. Even better, the stock already had squeezes firing all over the place, so there was positive momentum working in its favor. With multiple squeezes and a clear point of control to launch it, CAVA screamed higher on Monday. It ran straight to $87. Take a look... When a point of control lines up with multiple squeezes, that's my green light. The setup practically calls its own shot. I'm not chasing momentum here. I'm following the footprints that Wall Street left behind and timing my trade before the move. With profits locked in early this week, I'll cover how I keep and protect those gains in a later email. |
