What is Swing Trading?
Swing trading involves holding a position for several days to several weeks in an attempt to capture a broader market move. Unlike intraday trading, swing trading requires less constant monitoring but relies heavily on identifying established trends, robust support/resistance levels, and shifts in volume and open interest.

Key Factors in Swing Analysis
Effective swing analysis generally incorporates:
- Volume Clues: Expanding volume on upward price movement (accumulation) or decreasing volume on pullbacks.
- OI Accumulation: Persistent build-up in Open Interest across multiple days, indicating institutional commitment to the trend.
- Sector Rotation: Identifying which broader sectors are currently receiving institutional inflows to focus your stock-specific analysis.
