Swing trading is a strategy that involves capturing short- to medium-term price movements in financial markets. Unlike day trading, which focuses on intraday movements, swing trading positions can be held for several days to weeks, depending on market conditions.

Traders aim to capitalize on price “swings” by entering positions at perceived lows (buying) and exiting positions at perceived highs (selling). The strategy requires a combination of technical analysis, market timing, and risk management.
