VWAP Divergence | dobofulopOverview :
This script identifies potential bullish and bearish divergence signals using the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). It calculates VWAP resets based on a selected “Anchor Period” (Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Century, or corporate events like Earnings, Dividends, Splits). When price action and VWAP move in opposite directions with a sufficiently large ATR-based move over a chosen lookback period, the script plots divergence dots on the chart.
Key Features:
VWAP Anchoring : Choose an anchor period for resetting VWAP. This could be daily, weekly, monthly, or based on specific corporate events (Earnings, Dividends, Splits).
Divergence Detection : Looks for instances where the price is moving up while VWAP moves down (potential bullish divergence), and vice versa for bearish divergence.
ATR Filter : Uses the ATR (Average True Range) to filter out minor or insignificant price moves, helping to reduce noise.
Gap Check : Automatically invalidates signals if large price gaps occur within the lookback range.
Visual Signals : Bullish divergences are plotted below the bar, while bearish divergences are plotted above, making it easy to spot potential reversal zones.
How to Us
Inputs:
- Anchor Period (Session, Week, Month, etc.) – determines when the VWAP calculation restarts.
- Source (Default: HLC3) – Price source for the VWAP.
- ATR Multiplier and Lookback Period – Fine-tune the threshold for detecting significant moves vs. VWAP.
Interpretation:
- Bullish Divergence Dot: Suggests potential price strength when price moves higher but VWAP moves lower.
- Bearish Divergence Dot: Suggests potential price weakness when price moves lower but VWAP moves higher.

VWAP with CharacterizationThis indicator is a visual representation of the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), it calculates the weighted average price based on trading volume. Essentially, it provides a measure of the average price at which an asset has traded during a given period, but with a particular focus on trading volume. In our case, the indicator calculates the VWAP for the current trading symbol, using a predefined simple moving average (SMA) with a period of 14. This volume-weighted moving average offers a clearer view of the behavior of the VWAP and, of consequence of market dynamics.
One of the distinctive features of this indicator is its ability to provide a more "linear" representation of the data. This means that the data is "smoothed" to remove noise, allowing you to more easily identify the direction of the market trend. This smoother representation is especially useful because the financial market can be subject to significant fluctuations and volatility, and this indicator can help get a more stable view of the trend.
The indicator also offers a visualization of the market trend in a very intuitive way. Using an evaluation of the highs and lows of the last 10 days, determine whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or no trend at all. To make this evaluation even clearer and more immediate, the indicator line is colored dynamically. When the trend is bullish, the line is blue, while in case of a bearish trend, it takes on a distinctive color, such as pink. If the trend is not defined, the line will be colored differently, for example light yellow. This coloration gives traders an immediate visual indication of the prevailing trend, allowing them to make more informed decisions regarding trading operations.
One potential strategy involves watching candles when they cross the VWAP line strongly. If, for example, a candlestick breaks above the VWAP line, we may look for retest areas near key support levels to gauge a potential long entry. In other words, we would consider that the price may have the potential to rise further after breaking above the VWAP line, and we would look to enter a long position to take advantage of this opportunity.
On the other hand, if a candlestick crosses below the VWAP line, we might consider looking for retest areas near the VWAP line itself, which now serves as potential resistance. This could indicate a possible short entry opportunity, as the price may struggle to break above the resistance represented by the VWAP line after breaking it down. In this case, we would look to take advantage of the expected continuation of the downtrend.
In both cases, the idea is to exploit significant movements across the VWAP line as signals of potential reversal or continuation of the trend. This strategy can help identify key entry points based on price behavior relative to the VWAP line.
