A market pullback refers to a temporary decline in the market, typically around 5-10%, during an ongoing uptrend. This can be seen as a normal adjustment within market cycles. There are several types of pullbacks, including¹ ²:

- *Breakout Pullback*: A common occurrence after a significant price movement, where the price retraces before continuing its trend.

- *Horizontal Steps*: A stepping pattern observed during trending phases, where the price moves in a series of steps.

- *Trendline Pullback*: A pullback to a trendline, which can be used to identify potential entry points.

- *Moving Average Pullback*: A pullback to a moving average, such as the 50-period EMA.

- *Fibonacci Pullback*: A pullback to a Fibonacci retracement level, such as the 50% level.

To trade pullbacks effectively, consider the following strategies³:

- *Identify Lower Reversal Zones*: Look for areas where prices tend to stabilize before resuming their trend.

- *Use Moving Averages*: Monitor shorter-term moving averages to assess pullbacks in
