#MarketPullback A market pullback refers to a temporary and typically moderate dip in the price of an asset or the broader market, usually after a period of significant upward momentum. Unlike a full-blown reversal or a market correction (which is a larger decline of 10-20%), a pullback is considered a brief pause, a "breather" that allows the market to consolidate gains before potentially resuming its original upward trajectory. These dips are often triggered by factors like profit-taking by traders, short-term negative news, or the market simply becoming "overbought" according to technical indicators. For many investors, a pullback isn't a cause for alarm but rather a potential buying opportunity, allowing them to acquire assets at a slight discount before the underlying uptrend continues.
