A **market pullback** refers to a short-term decline in stock prices or a broader market index after a recent upward trend. It's typically seen as a normal and healthy correction rather than a sign of a bear market. Pullbacks often range from 5% to 10% and can be driven by:

* Profit-taking after a rally

* Economic data surprises

* Geopolitical concerns

* Changes in interest rate expectations

* Earnings season volatility

Investors may use pullbacks as buying opportunities in fundamentally strong markets.
