#MarketPullback A market pullback refers to a temporary decline in asset prices (typically 5-10%) within an ongoing uptrend, distinct from a full-blown bear market.
Causes:
- Profit-taking – Investors sell after strong gains.
- Economic uncertainty – Weak data, Fed policy shifts, or geopolitical tensions.
- Overbought conditions – Technical indicators signal a correction.
Current Trends (2024-2025):
- Stock markets (S&P 500, Nasdaq) saw pullbacks due to delayed Fed rate cuts.
- Crypto markets (Bitcoin, Ethereum) dipped amid ETF outflows and regulatory concerns.
- Commodities (Gold, Oil) fluctuated with inflation and demand shifts.
