Anchored VWAP and Moving Averages: Full Breakout Strategy | Brian Shannon

Most breakouts fail because traders buy a move that's already run too far. Brian Shannon, the trader who popularized anchored VWAP, breaks down the full method for reading a chart the right way. He joins Gav for a charting masterclass: how to actually use moving averages as reference points, why a close above the 50-day isn't automatically bullish, how anchored VWAP reveals where the real buyers and sellers are, and how to tell whether you're early to a breakout or chasing a trap. Plus live breakdowns of the semis, Nebius, Bitcoin, and SpaceX.
