VWAP and Previous Day Closing VWAP1. Understanding the Two Lines
Current VWAP (The Dynamic Curve): This represents the average price paid throughout the current session, weighted by volume. It moves as new trades come in.
Previous Day’s Closing VWAP (The Flat Level): This is a fixed horizontal line representing where the institutional "average price" finished yesterday. It serves as a major psychological anchor point for the current day.
2. Common Trading Strategies
The Mean Reversion (The "Rubber Band")
If the price gaps up or moves significantly away from both the current VWAP and the Previous Day's VWAP early in the morning, traders often look for a "reversion to the mean."
The Logic: Large institutions rarely like to buy significantly above the day's average price.
The Trade: If the price starts losing momentum far above the VWAP lines, traders may look for a short position back down toward the Current VWAP.
The "Value" Retest
The Previous Day’s Closing VWAP often acts as a support or resistance zone.
Support: If the price opens above yesterday's VWAP, drops down to touch it, and then bounces, it confirms that buyers are defending "yesterday's value."
Resistance: If the price opens below it and fails to break above it, the market is signaling bearishness.
The Crossover Signal
When the Current VWAP crosses over or under the Previous Day’s Closing VWAP, it indicates a shift in trend strength.
Bullish: Current VWAP crosses above Previous Day's VWAP. This suggests today's buyers are more aggressive than yesterday's average.
Bearish: Current VWAP crosses below Previous Day's VWAP. This suggests today's selling pressure is heavier than yesterday's average.
3. Best Practices & Pro-Tips
Timeframes: This indicator is most effective on 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts. On a Daily (D) chart, the lines will disappear or look like single dots because VWAP is calculated intraday.
Volume is Key: VWAP is only as strong as the volume behind it. If a bounce off the VWAP happens on low volume, it’s less reliable than a bounce on high volume.
The "No-Trade Zone": Many professional traders avoid taking long positions when the price is below the current VWAP, as they are essentially "buying at a premium" relative to the day's average sellers.
