Swing trading is a style of trading that involves holding onto stocks for a short period, typically ranging from a few days to several weeks. The goal of swing traders is to capitalize on short-term movements in the market by buying an asset when it appears oversold and selling it when it appears overbought. Swing traders often use technical analysis tools such as moving averages, relative strength index (RSI), and other indicators to identify potential entry and exit points for their trades. The strategy is based on the idea that prices will eventually revert back to their mean or average value after a significant move in either direction, providing opportunities for short-term profits.
