Cycle Correction Phase

Definition

A cycle correction phase describes a period of price decline following an extended upward trend in a market cycle. This phase represents a natural rebalancing within asset markets, where prices adjust downwards from previous highs. It is characterized by profit-taking, reduced buying pressure, and a re-evaluation of asset valuations by participants. Such corrections are often seen as necessary for the long-term health of a market, preventing excessive speculation and establishing new support levels.
