📝 Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
📊 Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
Let’s make this super simple! 🚀
Have you ever wondered ❓
At what price did most traders actually buy or sell a stock today?
Not the high price, not the low price... but the real average price where the maximum action (volume) happened?
👉 That’s exactly what VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) tells us!
🔍 What is VWAP?
VWAP means:
Volume + Price = True Average Price
It’s not just the average of prices...
It also cares about how many shares were traded at those prices! 🎯
Think like this:
If 10 bananas 🍌 are sold at ₹10 and 100 bananas 🍌 at ₹12 — VWAP will stay close to ₹12 because more bananas were sold there!
Stocks work the same way! ✅
🎯 Why VWAP is Awesome for Traders?
VWAP shows:
✔️ The actual price where most buyers and sellers traded today.
✔️ Whether the stock is strong (bullish) or weak (bearish).
✨ Simple Rule:
👉 Price above VWAP = Buyers strong = Uptrend likely!
👉 Price below VWAP = Sellers strong = Downtrend likely!
It’s like a secret line telling you which team (buyers or sellers) is winning! 🏆
💡 VWAP in Real Life Example:
Imagine you went to a fruit market 🍎🍊🍇.
3 people bought apples for ₹90 each.
20 people bought apples for ₹100 each.
2 people bought apples for ₹105 each.
Which price is more important? ₹100!
Because most apples were sold at ₹100 — not at ₹90 or ₹105.
That ₹100 is like VWAP — the “real market price” of apples today! 🍏
The stock market is just like this fruit market! 😉
📌 How do Traders Use VWAP?
🎯 Intraday Traders Love VWAP!
✔️ If price jumps above VWAP, they may buy — thinking buyers are strong 💪.
✔️ If price falls below VWAP, they may sell — thinking sellers are strong 👎.
🔁 Some traders wait patiently for the price to come near VWAP — and then trade to catch the next big move! 🎢
🔥 When VWAP Becomes Your Friend:
✅ Finding the right entry and exit points.
✅ Avoiding buying too high or selling too low.
✅ Understanding where “big players” (like big investors) might be trading!
It's like knowing the hidden battlefield between buyers and sellers! ⚔️
🤔 Important Things to Remember:
🚫 VWAP is best for intraday trading only — not for long-term decisions.
🚫 VWAP works well with other tools like RSI, MACD, and Supertrend — not alone.
Example:
Imagine using VWAP + RSI — like using Google Maps with a compass 🧭 — double confirmation = safer journey! 🚗💨
💬 In Short:
VWAP = Price + Volume Magic! ✨
✔️ Above VWAP? Market strong!
✔️ Below VWAP? Market weak!
But remember — VWAP is your guide, not a guarantee! 😉 Always plan your moves with care.
