Swing Low
A local trough in price action before a bounce.
Full Definition
A swing low is a candlestick or bar with a lower low than the candles immediately before and after it, marking a local trough in price. Swing lows are used to identify trend structure, draw support levels, and place stop losses. They're essential reference points for market structure analysis.

Price falls to 1.0950, then rises to 1.1000. The 1.0950 level is a swing low that can act as support.
