Point Of Interest Confluence

A 1-minute lesson from the MarketPro academy, one of 22 in smart money concepts.

Last reviewed by the MarketPro research desk · Editorial policy

Short answer

A point of interest (POI) is simply a specific price area a trader has flagged as worth watching, and confluence is the practice of stacking multiple independent reasons onto the same area before treating it as higher quality. A single order block on its own is one piece of evidence.

What Confluence Looks Like

A single order block on its own is one piece of evidence. That same order block becomes more compelling if it also lines up with a fair value gap, sits inside a discount zone during an uptrend, aligns with a higher timeframe level, and follows a liquidity sweep of a nearby equal low. Each additional, independent factor pointing to the same zone is one more layer of confluence.
