2023 could be another volatile year, with all attention focused on the interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
Should you embrace volatility?
How?
Execute shorter-term swing trades.
“What is swing trading?” you ask.
Swing trading is shorter-term in nature, lasting for just a couple of days to a couple of weeks.
The aim in swing trading is to capture the explosive up/down move in a bull/bear market respectively.
Due to high volatility, it’s more ideal to adopt swing trading strategies than position trading strategies. You’ll want to seize opportunities rather than be on a rollercoaster ride.
