#MarketPullback The term #MarketPullback refers to a temporary decline or dip in the prices of stocks or a broader market index (like the S&P 500 or Nasdaq) after a period of gains. Pullbacks are generally viewed as normal and healthy parts of market cycles—often providing opportunities to buy at lower prices within an ongoing uptrend.
Here are a few key points:
• Magnitude: Typically, a pullback is a drop of 5–10% from recent highs.
• Duration: Usually short-term—lasting days to weeks.
• Cause: Could be triggered by economic data, earnings reports, geopolitical tensions, interest rate changes, or simply profit-taking.
• Different from Corrections: A market correction is a steeper decline (10%+), while a bear market implies a drop of 20% or more.
