Anchored VWAP

A VWAP calculation that starts from a chosen event, bar, or session point instead of resetting automatically every session.

What it means

Anchored VWAP lets the trader choose where the calculation begins. Common anchors include a swing high, swing low, earnings event, gap, or session open.

What to watch

The anchor choice changes the story. Two traders can plot different anchored VWAP lines on the same chart and both be technically correct.
