Volume Weighted Average Price
Volume Weighted Average Price, or VWAP, is a technical analysis tool that provides the average price an asset has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price. It is calculated by adding the dollars traded for every transaction and dividing by the total shares traded for the day.
Institutional traders use VWAP as a benchmark to gauge the quality of their trade execution. If a trade is executed below the VWAP, it is considered a good buy, while execution above the VWAP is seen as a poor buy.
It serves as a reliable indicator of the true market value over a specific period. It is widely used in both traditional finance and high-frequency crypto trading.
