Swing High

Swing highs are successive highs that the price of an asset reaches before briefly retreating. Sometimes the retracement can turn into a trend reversal that breaks the successive swing highs. A current high that is higher than the previous highs can be identified as an uptrend.

Swing Low

Swing lows are successive lows formed after the temporary moments of rebounds. When the current low is lower than the previous ones, we can see a general bearish trend. Some swing traders prefer to trade only between swing highs and swing lows, which usually becomes a shorter-term version of swing trading.

Market Trend

A market trend is a perceived tendency of financial markets to move in a particular direction over time. Analysts classify these trends as secular for long periods, primary for medium periods, and secondary for short periods.

Institutional traders

Institutional traders are defined as traders who buy and sell securities for the accounts they manage for an institution or group of individuals. Some of the most common examples of institutional traders are mutual funds, pension funds, insurance companies, and exchange-traded funds.

Support and Resistance

Support and resistance levels are important points in time where the forces of supply and demand meet. These support and resistance levels are considered by technical analysts to be critical in determining market psychology and supply and demand. When these support or resistance levels are broken, the supply and demand forces that created these levels are considered to have shifted, likely creating new support and resistance levels.
