What is Market Correction? — Meaning, Definition & Example

Definition

A correction is a decline of 10-20% in stock prices from recent highs. It is a normal and healthy part of market cycles. Corrections differ from bear markets (20%+ decline) and crashes (sudden sharp decline). They present buying opportunities for disciplined investors.

💡 Real Example

Nifty falling from 26,000 to 23,000 (11.5% decline) is a correction — not a crash. Use this as opportunity to increase your SIP amount or invest lump sum.
