VWAP on the live order book chart in Swiftedge Depth

What it shows

The volume-weighted average price since 7:00 PM ET (00:00 UTC): the average price paid per coin today.

How to read it

VWAP weights every trade by its size. Price above VWAP means today's buyers are, on average, in profit. For weekly, monthly, session and rolling VWAPs with bands, use VWAP bands & anchors.

How it's calculated

VWAP adds up price times volume for every trade since 7:00 PM ET (00:00 UTC) and divides by the total volume, so it is the average price paid today, weighted by size. It resets every UTC day.

What it can't tell you

VWAP is only meaningful within the day it covers; early in the UTC day it rests on very few trades.
