hard · Order Flow Analysis footprint-delta

If price is trading at VWAP - 2σ and the footprint shows a 'Single-Print Low' with a 30:1 ratio on the adjacent level, how does the VWAP context influence the trade decision?

1. It suggests the market is in a 'Gap-and-Go' scenario where mean reversion to VWAP is unlikely to occur.
2. The VWAP is a 'lagging' indicator that should be ignored when a 'lead' signal like a single print appears.
3. It decreases conviction because trading against the VWAP trend is high-risk regardless of the footprint signature.
4. It increases the conviction of a long entry because price is at a statistical extreme and order flow shows seller exhaustion.
