#MarketPullback

A market pullback refers to a temporary decline in stock prices, typically between 5% and 10%, within an ongoing uptrend. Unlike a bear market (a drop of 20% or more), pullbacks are short-term corrections that often present buying opportunities. They can be triggered by profit-taking, economic uncertainty, or geopolitical events. Historically, markets recover from pullbacks as underlying fundamentals remain strong. Investors should assess whether the decline is a normal correction or a sign of deeper issues. Diversification and a long-term perspective help mitigate risks during pullbacks. While unsettling, pullbacks are a natural part of market cycles and can help reset overvalued asset prices before the next upward move.
