VWAP Explained for Intraday Trading

What VWAP is

The average traded price weighted by volume since the session open. Institutions benchmark fills against it, so it acts as intraday fair value.

How traders use it

Sustained trade above VWAP = buyers in control (bullish bias); below = sellers in control. First reclaim or loss of VWAP often starts the day's trend leg.

How TradingAI uses it

Price-vs-VWAP is a core regime input and appears as a Why-chip on every index page. Strategies key entries off it (e.g. Bull Put Spread needs price above VWAP).

Limits

VWAP resets daily (useless for positional views) and whipsaws on range days — pair it with ADX and support/resistance.
