What is Swing Trading?
Swing trading holds positions for days to weeks, capturing price swings within a larger trend. Unlike intraday trading, swing traders spend only 30-60 minutes daily on analysis.
Swing trading works exceptionally well in crypto because the market frequently produces 10-30% swings over a week — these are the moves swing traders target.
Swing Trading Strategy Framework
Step 1: Identify the trend on the daily chart with 50 and 200 SMA. Above both = bullish.
Step 2: Wait for a pullback to support, the 50 SMA, or the 0.618 Fibonacci level.
Step 3: Confirm with RSI nearing oversold. Look for bullish reversal candles at support.
Step 4: Enter with stop-loss below the pullback low. Target the next resistance at minimum 1:2 risk-reward.
Step 5: Trail your stop-loss to lock in profits as price moves in your favor.
