Institutional VWAP Programs Shape Markets

  • Large institutions use VWAP programs to sell or buy shares stealthily, respecting key support levels.

Trade with Anticipation and Confirmation

  • Always anticipate all possible outcomes and have a clear trade plan before entering.
  • Use shorter-term time frames to confirm price strength before participation and manage risk carefully.
ADVICE

Avoid Premature Entries Without Confirmation
