In plain terms

When a stock closes far away from its average traded price for the day, it tends to drift back toward that average.

How it works

The session VWAP is the institutional fair-value anchor; a close far below VWAP reflects forced/late selling that tends to bounce, and far above VWAP reflects chase-buying that fades (intraday mean reversion around VWAP). This is the reversion sign of vwap_dev, distinct from close-strength which trades it as momentum.
