Recently, a friend asked me what swing trading is, and I think it's necessary to explain it clearly to everyone.

Swing trading is actually a trading method that captures price fluctuations over the medium to short term. Compared to other trading styles, the core of swing trading is to use technical support and resistance levels to find the optimal entry and exit points, which can achieve a better risk-reward ratio.

I have interacted with many traders, and those who do swing trading usually rely heavily on technical analysis—using tools like candlestick patterns, moving averages, MACD, and others. However, truly mature traders often do not completely ignore fundamentals; sometimes, fundamental information can serve as an additional filtering condition to help you avoid obvious pitfalls.

Interestingly, swing trading is now widely applicable in the current market. Whether you're in the spot market or the futures market, the logic of swing trading can be applied. Spot trading is suitable for friends with lower risk appetite, while futures offer more leverage, but the risk also increases accordingly.

If you want to achieve steady profits in the crypto market, understanding and mastering the approach of swing trading is quite important. The key is to find your own rhythm and not blindly follow the trend.
