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.

Volume Profile

Volume Profile shows how much volume traded at each price level, rather than over time — revealing where the market spent its activity. This article explains the Point of Control, the Value Area, High and Low Volume Nodes, how these act as support, resistance and fast-move zones, and the main variants (session, visible-range and fixed-range volume profiles) and how traders use them to read where price is likely to stall or accelerate.
