Why swing matters

Swing highs and lows are the turning points that define a trend. Higher highs and higher lows mean an uptrend; lower highs and lower lows mean a downtrend. Breaking the last swing is often the first sign the trend is changing.

How traders use it

  • In an uptrend, traders buy pullbacks that hold above the last swing low.
  • In a downtrend, traders sell rallies that fail below the last swing high.
  • A break of the last swing low in an uptrend (or high in a downtrend) warns of a change.
