Market Pullback
is a temporary decline or correction in stock prices, market indices, or other financial assets after a period of price increase (uptrend). This decline is usually short-term, ranging from 5-10% of the most recent high price, and is considered a natural part of the market cycle. Pullbacks often occur due to profit-taking by investors, changes in market sentiment, or external factors such as economic news, but do not indicate a change in long-term trends (reversal).
