VWAP reflects the average price at which all volume has transacted during the session -- a close below it means sellers have dominated all day. EMA(9) below EMA(20) on the 15-Min chart is a fast-moving bearish momentum signal: the short-term average is falling faster than the slightly longer-term average. Volume above the 20-bar average confirms the downtrend has active participation. Three independent bearish confirmations firing simultaneously creates a high-conviction signal.
This screen is most actionable when macro context also supports the short bias: if SPY/QQQ are trending down, individual stocks showing this pattern have tailwind. In a rising market, even stocks below VWAP with bearish EMA alignment tend to get pulled higher, making shorts difficult to sustain. Failure modes: (1) VWAP reclaim -- price briefly dips below VWAP then snaps back; (2) late-session noise -- after 3:30 PM ET, volume patterns shift and mean-reversion dominates; (3) high-short-interest stocks where the downtrend triggers a short squeeze. Compare to Strong Intraday Uptrend for the mirror signal. Below All MAs Bear provides the daily-timeframe equivalent.
