Short-Term Swings

Definition

Short-term swings refer to temporary price fluctuations in an asset’s market value that occur over brief periods, typically hours, days, or weeks. These movements are often driven by immediate news, market sentiment, technical trading patterns, or sudden shifts in supply and demand. Traders frequently attempt to profit from these rapid price changes through active buying and selling strategies. Such volatility is a common characteristic of speculative markets.
