There is always interpretation when it comes to chart so I think it would be a mistake to say something along the lines of “this is definitely a swing high” or something of that nature. Having said that, when you get used to reading charts, it just becomes apparent what you think a swing high or low looks like to you.

In an uptrend (also interpretation), a swing high is a new high followed by a slight downtrend. A swing low is a new higher low followed by an uptrend.

Downtrend is just opposite.

Maybe going on youtube will be better so you can get a visual.

Also, I don’t use it when I trade, but the ZigZag indicator in MT4 can give you a much better idea of what the swings are.

This is as good an explanation as I have seen. But if you find something else it might provide a different explanation. I don’t think its a hard and fast definition so it is open to different interpretations.
