VWAP standard deviation fade

## What it means

On quiet days, price tends to stay near VWAP. When it stretches to the second standard-deviation band and stalls, it often swings back toward VWAP.

## How it is confirmed without repainting

Bands are read at candle close, and only after 30 candles of the session, so the bands have enough data behind them.

## When it fails

Trend days, where price rides the band instead of returning.
