Price trades below VWAP, then pushes back above it and holds. Sellers who were in control lose their edge and often have to cover.
How to identify it
- Time spent below VWAP earlier in the session
- Decisive close back above VWAP
- Successful hold or retest of VWAP from above
Entry
Buy the retest of VWAP after the reclaim.
Stop loss
Below the retest low.
Target
Prior session high or the upper VWAP band.
Invalidation
Price loses VWAP again with a close below.
