Swing trading refers to a short-term trading strategy in which traders hold positions for a period of several days to several weeks, in an attempt to profit from price swings or "swings" in the market.
This is in contrast to day trading, which involves holding positions for only a single day, or long-term investing, which involves holding positions for several months or years. Swing traders may use technical analysis, fundamental analysis, or a combination of both to make trading decisions.
The goal is to identify stocks or other assets that are showing signs of significant price momentum and enter into a trade in the direction of that momentum.
The idea is to hold the position long enough to capture the bulk of the price move, but not so long that the trade becomes affected by longer-term trends or fundamentals.
