First, keep in mind what each of these items is about. The Point of Control is the price level at which the highest volume has traded (i.e. the longest bar in the profile). The "Ticks per Volume Bar" determines how many price levels are aggregated together to form a single bar.

Therefore, when the "Ticks per Volume Bar" is set to "1" and you have a POC at one level and then when the "Ticks per Volume Bar" is set to "2" and the POC changes, this is because the accumulation of the data at the two price levels creates a longer bar at the new location than what it was previously.
