VWAP

The average price everyone paid today, where busier moments count more, often used as the day's fair price.

The fuller meaning

Volume-weighted average price: typical price times volume for every candle since the session opened, divided by total volume. It resets each session, so it is mainly an intraday tool; many traders read price above VWAP as buyers in control, using it as a reference level, not a guarantee.

VWAP, also called volume-weighted average price.
