#MarketPullback

A market pullback refers to a temporary decline in the price of stocks, indices, or the broader market after a recent upward trend. It’s usually seen as a short-term dip—typically around 5% to 10%—and is considered a healthy correction within a larger bullish trend.

Key Characteristics:

Short-term: Lasts days to weeks.

Mild decline: Typically less than 10%.

Common causes: Profit-taking, overbought conditions, interest rate fears, geopolitical tensions, or earnings disappointments.

Not a trend reversal: Unlike a correction (10%+) or a bear market (20%+ drop), pullbacks are often temporary pauses.

Investor Implications:

Buying opportunity: Many investors view pullbacks as a chance to buy into quality stocks at a discount.

Risk of mistiming: It’s difficult to predict the bottom of a pullback.
