#MarketPullback

A market pullback refers to a temporary pause or dip in an asset's overall trend. It's often used interchangeably with "retracement" or "consolidation," but shouldn't be confused with a reversal, which is a more permanent move against the prevailing trend. Here's what you need to know ¹:

- *Characteristics*: Pullbacks are temporary and usually last for a few trading sessions. They're often seen as opportunities to buy assets in an overall uptrend.

- *Causes*: Momentary loss of trader confidence, economic announcements, or market volatility can trigger pullbacks.

- *Indicators*: Moving averages and pivot points can help determine whether a pullback is actually a reversal by highlighting levels of support.

- *Trading*: Traders can use CFDs to take advantage of pullbacks or reversals, but should be cautious and have a risk management strategy in place.
