What this chapter is about
Swing Trading the Crypto Cycle is one idea you need before the next chapter makes sense. In ClearPath Education we strip jargon first, then add only the detail that changes how you think about risk, process, or market structure.
Stay inside the Crypto school framing: plain language, honest tradeoffs, and no promises of profit.
Core idea
When professionals talk about "Swing Trading the Crypto Cycle", they are usually pointing at a mechanism (how something works), a risk (how you can get hurt), or a decision rule (what to check before you act). Name which of those three this chapter is for you.
Write one sentence in your own words. If you cannot, re-read slowly — the goal is ownership of the idea, not finishing the list.
Why it matters in real markets
Markets punish confusion. People who skip foundations misread charts, misuse leverage, trust the wrong intermediary, or copy a strategy that does not match their constraints.
Connecting "Swing Trading the Crypto Cycle" to the rest of Unit 7 — Crypto Trading Strategies helps you see the system instead of isolated tips.
