Build Smarter Crypto Signals with VWAP Radar (Using DropsTab API)

Crypto prices are chaotic. One minute you're chasing a pump; the next, you're underwater.

That’s why volume matters—and why VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) is a powerful tool for cutting through the noise.

In this post, I’ll show you how to:

• Understand the VWAP Score
• Access it through the DropsTab API
• Use it to spot overheated or undervalued tokens
• Integrate it into alerts, bots, or dashboards

🔍 What is VWAP Score?

VWAP Score tells you how far a token's price has moved from its fair value, based on trading volume.

Formula:

math
VWAP Score = ((Current Price – VWAP) / VWAP) × 100

Interpretation:
    • +100 → Extremely Overvalued (likely top)
    • +50 to +99 → Overheated
    • –50 to –99 → Undervalued
    • –100 → Deep Panic (may bounce)
    • 0 → Neutral / Fair value


🔌 Accessing VWAP Score with DropsTab API

First, sign up and get your API key here.

Example: Fetch VWAP Score for BONK

const response = await fetch('https://api.dropstab.com/vwapRadar?token=BONK&window=7d', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
  }
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.score); // Output: e.g., -89.34

You can adjust window to:
    • 7d (short-term)
    • 1mo (medium-term)
    • 3mo (longer trend)

**How to Use VWAP Score in Your App**

1. Contrarian Alerts (panic or hype zones)

if (score <= -70) {
  alert("🔥 Possible dip-buy opportunity");
}

if (score >= 80) {
  alert("⚠️ Token looks overheated");
}

2. Trend Confirmation (VWAP crossover logic)

If the score crosses from negative to positive over time → potential bullish momentum. Vice versa for bearish.

3. Multi-Timeframe Logic

Compare 7d vs 3mo scores to spot:
    • Short-term dips in long-term bullish trends
    • Overbought signals in weakening trends

Use Cases
    • Trading bots: trigger buy/sell alerts based on extremes
    • Portfolio dashboards: surface tokens farthest from fair value
    • Alpha scanners: visualize undervalued tokens across markets


Quick Dev Checklist
    ✅ DropsTab API Key
    ✅ VWAP endpoint integrated
    ✅ Custom thresholds set
    ✅ Optional combo with RSI / Bollinger Bands / On-chain metrics

Example: BONK at –89, Then Bounce

Last week, BONK’s VWAP Score hit –89 (7-day window). That’s deep panic territory. It rebounded +20% in 48 hours.

Another token, PUMP, hit +100 → dumped shortly after.

VWAP Score gave both signals in real-time.
