📈 Swing Trading
📚 US Capital Private Bank Knowledge Base
📖 Definition
Swing Trading is a medium-term trading strategy that aims to capture price movements or “swings” in financial instruments over several days to weeks. Swing traders seek to profit from market volatility by entering and exiting positions at opportune times based on technical and sometimes fundamental analysis.
⚙️ How It Works
Swing traders identify potential price reversals or continuation patterns using chart analysis, indicators, and market trends. Positions are typically held longer than day trades but shorter than long-term investments, allowing traders to capitalize on short to intermediate price fluctuations.
