What is VWAP acts as support?
VWAP Acts as Support identifies a support response as price comes toward the volume-weighted average price from above. The help description states that the alert is based on one-minute candles. The event is about a response at the line, rather than just being above VWAP or crossing it. ChartsWatcher calculates the alert across premarket, regular market, and postmarket sessions.
An illustrative example
VWAP acts as support in practice
Consider a hypothetical stock trading above VWAP that pulls back toward the line and then shows a support-style response. This is the type of interaction the alert surfaces for review. The example describes the approach and response without assigning an undocumented bounce percentage, candle count, or distance tolerance to the detector.
