Swing trading is a short- to medium-term trading strategy that aims to capture price movements in financial markets over a period of days to weeks. Traders in this approach analyze technical indicators, chart patterns, and market trends to identify potential entry and exit points, often holding positions longer than day traders but shorter than long-term investors. The goal is to profit from "swings" in asset prices, making it particularly suitable for those who can dedicate time to analysis but cannot continuously monitor the market.
