MVAP Reversal Detector — Institutional

A professional-grade reversal detector built on Moving VWAP (MVAP), liquidity sweeps, and volume absorption.

The indicator identifies high-probability intraday reversal points by combining three institutional concepts:

MVAP (EMA of VWAP) → institutional fair-value anchor

Liquidity Sweeps → stop runs above prior highs or below prior lows

Absorption Signals → shift from aggressive orders to passive absorption

The result is a clean, reliable reversal framework used by prop traders, scalpers, and intraday momentum traders.

What This Indicator Detects
1. Bullish MVAP Reclaim Reversal

A bearish move sweeps liquidity below recent lows → volume absorption appears → price reclaims MVAP.
This often triggers a short squeeze and a new upward trend.

2. Bullish MVAP Reject Reversal

Price pulls back into MVAP → fails to break below → absorption confirms buyers defending the level.

3. Bearish MVAP Reclaim Reversal

A bullish move sweeps liquidity above highs → absorption turns price → price falls back below MVAP.
Common in failed breakouts and distribution.

4. Bearish MVAP Reject Reversal

Price retests MVAP from below → fails → sellers defend → continuation lower.

Why MVAP Reversals Matter

MVAP acts as a dynamic institutional cost-basis line, similar to VWAP but smoother and harder to manipulate.
Reversals around MVAP provide powerful signals of:

Failed trend continuation
Absorption-based trap setups
Liquidity-driven inflection points
Trend transitions (range → trend or trend → fade)
