VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)

The average price weighted by volume over a session — a benchmark big traders use to judge whether they're buying or selling at a good price.

VWAP
Schematic of a vwap (volume-weighted average price) — illustrative geometry, not a live price chart.

VWAP resets each day and tracks the volume-weighted average of every trade. Price above VWAP means the average buyer today is in profit (bullish control); price below means the average buyer is underwater (bearish).

Intraday traders use VWAP as dynamic support/resistance and as a 'fair value' line — reclaiming VWAP or holding above it is a common momentum tell.
