The average price, weighted by how much traded there
VWAP averages the day's trades weighted by the volume done at each price, so prices where many shares changed hands count for more than a simple average would give them. It stands in for the typical cost of everyone who traded that day, which is why a price above or below VWAP is read as the crowd being ahead or behind.
10,000 shares at $1,000 and 30,000 at 1,100 gives a VWAP of 1,075.
