price swing

Value goes up-down

A price swing is a significant movement in the price of a stock, commodity, or other asset over a period of time.

The term emphasizes the back-and-forth nature of market movements—prices swing up and down like a pendulum.

Traders watch for price swings to time their buying and selling: The stock saw wild price swings after the earnings report.
