=== 🧪 VWAP Bounce Checklist ===
  * Price approaches VWAP from above or below
  * Rejection wick or strong engulfing candle
  * Volume spike confirms institutional activity
  * Enter on confirmation, stop just beyond rejection
  * Target next logical zone (e.g., previous high/low)

**Pullback:**

Price pulls back toward **VWAP** (a dynamic support/resistance level), pauses, and then resumes in the original trend direction.

The bounce is the “pullback” → it shows a **temporary retracement**, followed by **confirmation**:
  * Wick rejection  
  * Engulfing candle  
  * Volume spike


=== 📈 Real-World Trade Example ===
 ✅ VWAP Bounce **Example:**  
  * **At 9:10 AM CST, price pulls back to the VWAP after a strong opening rally.** 
  * **A long wick forms below VWAP, followed by a bullish engulfing candle with rising volume.** 
 
  * **Trade Entry:** Long on the engulfing candle close.  
  * **Stop Loss:** 2–3 ticks below the wick.  
  * **Target:** +5 ticks, or previous high.  

**Why it worked:** VWAP acted as dynamic support and volume confirmed buyer presence.
