#MarketPullback MarketPullback
The term pullback describes the retreat of price movement when there is a market trend to offset some of the gains before continuing in the same direction.
It is a temporary halt or retreat in the general trend of the asset.
The term is sometimes used interchangeably with "bounce".
The pullback is a short-term movement in the opposite direction of the long-term trend, which can offer an opportunity to join a bullish trend at a relatively advantageous price.
The pullback indicates that the overall market trend has temporarily halted.
This can be due to several factors, including the instant loss of traders' confidence after the release of specific news or economic data.
Do not confuse a pullback with a reversal, which is a more permanent movement against the dominant trend.
You will need to determine if the price decline is a pullback and not an explicit trend reversal.
The most important difference between pullbacks and reversals is that a pullback is temporary
While a reversal is a permanent change in the direction of the overall trend.
Pullbacks generally last a few trading sessions, while a reversal may indicate a complete change in market sentiment.
Many indicators, including moving averages and pivot points, can help you determine if the pullback is actually a reversal or not.
These technical indicators highlight support levels.
If the pullback crosses this support level, it is likely to be a reversal.
