Technical analysis

VWAP

VWAP is an asset's average price over the day, weighted by the volume traded at each level.

Widely used by day traders and institutions, VWAP serves as a benchmark of the session's "fair" price. A price above VWAP is seen as strong, below as weak; it often acts as support or resistance.

Example

Price bounces several times off the VWAP during the day, like off a support.
