VWAP Professional Use

Volume-weighted average price for institutional entries

VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is the average price weighted by volume. It represents the "fair price" where most trading occurred.

Institutional use: Large institutions use VWAP as a benchmark — they aim to execute orders at or below VWAP.

Trading signals: - Price above VWAP = bullish intraday bias - Price below VWAP = bearish intraday bias - VWAP acts as intraday dynamic support/resistance - Deviation bands (similar to Bollinger) show overextension

Best for: Day trading and intraday analysis. VWAP resets each day.

Combine with supply/demand zones for high-probability intraday entries.

Pro tip: VWAP pullback entries in the direction of the daily trend are one of the most consistent intraday setups.

Common mistake: Using VWAP on daily or weekly charts. Better: VWAP resets daily — it's designed for intraday analysis only.

Key takeaways

VWAP = fair price weighted by volume
Above VWAP = bullish, below = bearish
Acts as intraday dynamic S/R
