#MarketPullback A market pullback refers to a temporary retracement or correction in the price of an asset or security from its prevailing trend. This phenomenon is observed when there's a brief dip in a steadily climbing asset or a small rise in a generally declining asset. Pullbacks are driven by short-term traders taking profits, momentarily disrupting the existing trend.
