Indicator Overview

In the VWMA Indicator, blue represents buyers' strength and the formation of an uptrend, while red signifies sellers' dominance and the emergence of a downtrend.

This method gives higher weight to prices with larger volumes, making VWMA more sensitive to changes in trading volume. This feature helps traders accurately examine price changes and correctly identify key market trends.

VWMA in an Uptrend

The blue line in this support and resistance indicator represents the uptrend. In the chart below, the indicator clearly identifies the upward trend, and the price uses the line marked by the indicator as a dynamic support.

These zones act as support areas, causing price reversals and upward movements.
