🧭 Beginner Swing Trading Strategy (Crypto Edition)
🛠️ Tools You Need:
A charting platform like TradingView (free)
An exchange like Binance, Coinbase, or Bybit
Basic knowledge of RSI, moving averages, and support/resistance
✅ Step-by-Step Strategy:
🔍 1. Choose Strong Coins
Start with high-volume, trusted coins like:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
Solana (SOL)
BNB Avoid low-liquidity or meme coins for now.
📈 2. Use the 4-Hour or Daily Chart
These timeframes filter out noise and help you spot real trends.
4H Chart: Good for 2–5 day swings
Daily Chart: Good for longer trades (1–2 weeks)
📊 3. Apply These Indicators:
50 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) – Trend direction
Relative Strength Index (RSI) – Overbought/Oversold signals
Support and Resistance lines – Price reaction zones
🟢 4. Entry Signal (When to Buy):
Buy when ALL these happen:
Price bounces off a support level
RSI is below 40 and starting to rise
Price is above the 50 EMA or just reclaimed it
👉 Example: ETH drops to $3,200 (strong support), RSI is 35, and price bounces — that’s a signal.
❌ 5. Stop Loss (Risk Protection):
Always set a stop loss just below the recent support
Risk only 1–2% of your total capital on each trade
🎯 6. Take Profit (Exit Plan):
Set target 1 near the next resistance level
Or sell when RSI reaches 70+ (overbought)
You can also sell in parts (e.g., 50% at first target, 50% higher)
🔄 Example Trade:
Coin: BNB
Chart: Daily
Buy at: $600 (bounced from support)
Stop loss: $580
Target: $660 (previous resistance)
RSI: 38 → rising
🧠 Pro Tips:
Be patient: quality setups matter more than quantity
Don't chase pumps
Journal every trade (entry, exit, reason, outcome)
Stick to your stop loss — no emotions
