#MarketPullback

A market pullback is a temporary dip—typically 5–10%—in an overall upward trend. It's not a full reversal, just a brief pause or profit-taking opportunity (investopedia.com). In 2025, pullbacks arose from trade‑war fears, tariffs, and geopolitical tensions (e.g. Israel‑Iran), oil price spikes, and economic indicators like cooling consumer spending and rising delinquencies . Strategists warn these dips can deepen—25% drops are possible—and may precede recession or slower growth (businessinsider.com). But historically, pullbacks are common, healthy corrections and often buying opportunities as long-term uptrends remain intact (whitenercapital.com).
