What is a Market Pullback?

A market pullback is a short-term drop in the price of stocks or cryptocurrencies after a recent rise. It’s a natural part of the market cycle and doesn’t mean a crash — it’s more like a small correction.

Investors often see pullbacks as buying opportunities, especially if the overall trend is still strong and upward.

Example:

If Bitcoin goes from $60,000 to $65,000, then drops to $62,000 — that’s a pullback, not a crash.
