📊 What are Swing Points?
📍Types of Swing Points
A swing point on your chart is simply a turning point for price in the past, either to create a considerable pullback into an established trend, or to reverse it altogether. When a turning point creates a mere pullback it can be classified as a minor swing point. When it creates the base to reverse a trend, it is classified as a major swing point.
📍Why are swing high and swing low formed?
A swing high and swing low is formed due to what is known as support and resistance. The technical explanation for support and resistance is as follows:
🔹A support forms for the price when you notice that there are more buyers than sellers at a certain price. The demand for the asset or the stock overwhelms the supply and thus pushes price higher.
🔹A resistance forms for price when you notice more sellers than buyers at the price level. In this case, price fails to move higher and therefore declines.
Swing points are key levels we use in TA to identify potential trend reversals and support/resistance areas in the markets. Swing highs represent peaks in price movement, while swing lows represent valleys or troughs. You can find swing points by studying price charts, identifying peaks and valleys, and plotting them on the chart. By connecting swing points with trendlines, you can analyze patterns and assess potential support and resistance levels. Combining swing points with other technical indicators can enhance trading decisions. It's important to consider different time frames and use swing points as part of a comprehensive analysis approach.
