By Brian Shannon Technical Analysis Using Multiple Link !!exclusive!! May 2026
Note: The phrase "using multiple link" is likely a slight typo or semantic variation of Brian Shannon’s famous methodology: "using multiple time frames" (specifically the "Multiple Time Frame (MTF)" approach). Brian Shannon is the author of Technical Analysis Using Multiple Time Frames. This article addresses that core keyword while correcting the logical intent.

5. Pillar III: Anchored VWAP (AVWAP)
Brian Shannon is widely credited with popularizing the Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (AVWAP) indicator. This tool bridges the gap between price action and institutional volume. by brian shannon technical analysis using multiple link
- Definition: While a standard VWAP resets daily, the AVWAP is "anchored" to a specific starting point (e.g., an earnings announcement, a breakout from accumulation, or a significant news event).
- Utility:
- Institutional Benchmark: It represents the average price paid by participants since a specific event. Institutions often defend this level.
- Dynamic Support/Resistance: It acts as a moving average of sorts but weighted by volume, making it more significant than a simple moving average (SMA).
- Trend Filter: If price is above the AVWAP, the trend since the anchor point is bullish. If below, it is bearish.
Examples of Setups
- Trend-following pullback: HTF uptrend; ITF shows consolidation near HTF support; LTF prints higher low with rising volume—enter on LTF breakout with stop under the LTF low.
- Breakout with HTF confluence: Price breaks ITF resistance that lines up with HTF range edge and shows volume confirmation on the breakout—enter on retest.
- Counter-trend fade (advanced): Only when HTF shows exhaustion signs (failed ATH, bearish divergence) and LTF reveals rejection wicks and volume—small size, tight stops.
