Swing Low
The opposite of a swing high. A swing low is created when price forms a new low point in a price swing. At this point a new up swing has the potential to begin but a solid swing trading method is needed to identify these points.
Swing lows are most effectively used when identifying stop loss points for a long trade. If a swing low is broken (and a new swing low if formed) thus stopping a trader out it can be taken as confirmation that an up trend is not materialising, at least for the moment. Momentum traders will use the break of a swing low as an opportunity to short a security as it may represent confirmation of a down trend continuation.
An illustration of a swing low can be found here.
