#MarketPullback
A market pullback is a temporary decline in stock prices, typically between 5% to 10% from recent highs, often seen as a natural part of market cycles. Unlike a crash, a pullback is short-lived and usually caused by profit-taking, economic data, or geopolitical concerns. Investors may view pullbacks as opportunities to buy quality stocks at lower prices. While unsettling, pullbacks help prevent markets from overheating and can strengthen long-term trends. They serve as pauses that allow investors to reassess valuations and market conditions. Understanding pullbacks helps investors remain calm and avoid emotional decisions that could harm their portfolios over time.
