Swing trading is a short- to medium-term trading strategy that aims to capture price swings or trends in financial markets over a period of a few days to several weeks. Unlike day trading, which involves closing positions within the same day, swing traders hold positions overnight to benefit from broader market movements. They rely heavily on technical analysis, including chart patterns, moving averages, and indicators like RSI or MACD, to identify entry and exit points. Some also incorporate fundamental analysis to support their trade decisions. Swing trading is popular among part-time and individual traders because it requires less time than day trading while still offering significant profit opportunities from trending markets.
