#MarketPullback
Pullback occurs when:
1. Price has risen too quickly: Short-term investors take profits, leading to increased selling pressure.
2. Technical resistance is hit: Price encounters a strong resistance area (e.g., MA, trendline, Fibonacci…) causing downward pressure.
3. Negative short-term news: News, economic data, or short-term FUD causes a price drop reaction.
4. Trading volume is weakening: The uptrend lacks strength, allowing for a temporary price adjustment.

How does a Market Pullback happen?
• The decrease usually ranges from 3% - 10% for stocks, or 5% - 15% for crypto (depending on market volatility).
• It occurs over a few hours to a few days (short-term), after which the market may continue its upward trend.
• Volume is often lower than during the previous increase, indicating no strong selling pressure from major investors.
What is the action strategy during a pullback?
• Long-term investors: May buy more (DCA) when the price adjusts to the support zone.
• Short-term traders: Look to buy at the technical support area (Fibonacci, trendline…) combined with confirmation signals (volume, RSI, MACD…).
• Risk management: Set stop-loss below support to avoid confusion with a reversal.
