Pullback

What it means

A pullback is a counter-move within a broader directional move. Traders often measure it against levels, structure, and volatility.

What to watch

A pullback can turn into a reversal. Traders need criteria for when the broader move is no longer intact.

Where traders usually run into this

Pullback matters most when it starts affecting an actual chart read, indicator setting, or workflow choice rather than staying as an abstract definition.
