Swing Trading

A trading style that aims to capture price 'swings' or moves in a financial instrument over a period of several days to weeks. Uses a combination of technical and fundamental analysis.

Example

The swing trader bought ETH at $3,200 after it bounced off the 50-day moving average and sold five days later at $3,600, capturing a $400 swing in the uptrend.
