Weekly VWAP as a Volume-Weighted Benchmark for Market Context
Summary
Weekly VWAP is described as the cumulative sum of price multiplied by volume divided by cumulative volume, reset at the start of each trading week. It is plotted as a single chart line and serves as a reference for the week’s volume-weighted average trading price. Compared with a simple moving average, the calculation gives more weight to prices associated with greater trading volume.
The text suggests using price’s position relative to the line to assess weekly market context: sustained trading above it may indicate bullish momentum, while trading below may suggest bearish control. It also presents the line as a possible aid for trend confirmation and positional decisions. These are proposed interpretations, not findings from a reported test; the document provides no markets, sample period, signal rules, or performance evidence. Results may also depend on how the weekly session and price input are defined.
