Anchored VWAP

Anchored VWAP is the volume-weighted average price calculated from a specific anchor point you choose — a major high or low, an earnings date, an IPO — rather than resetting each session. This article explains how it represents the average price paid since a key event, why it acts as dynamic support and resistance, how being above or below it signals who is in profit, and where to anchor it for the most meaningful read.
