#MarketPullback A "market pullback" is a term used in finance to describe a temporary decline in stock prices or other financial assets, following a period of rise. It is a short-term correction, usually between 5% and 10%, and does not necessarily indicate the beginning of a bear market.
Key characteristics of a pullback:
Short duration (days or weeks).
Moderate magnitude (usually up to 10%).
Can occur in bull markets as a "healthy pause".
Often presents a buying opportunity for investors who believe in the continuation of the upward trend.
Difference between pullback, correction, and bear market:
Term Typical Decline Duration Interpretation
Pullback Up to 10% Days/weeks Mild setback
Correction 10% to 20% Weeks/months Market adjustment
Bear market More than 20% Months/years Prolonged downward trend
