Start with a leader, then wait for price
A stock down 10% may be undergoing a healthy consolidation or starting a larger decline. The distinction depends on the market, the moving-average structure, volume and the company’s fundamentals.

Three checks before calling it a pullback
1. Is the market still supportive?
When the market has broken important intermediate averages and breadth is deteriorating, a stock touching an average may simply be pausing in a downtrend. Pullback frameworks tend to be more useful in an uptrend or orderly correction.
2. Is the consolidation constructive?
Look for contraction in volatility or volume and evidence that price can regain an average. An average is a cost area, not an exact price that must hold to the cent.
3. Do fundamentals still support the wait?
Compare quarterly revenue, EPS and H1/H2 EPS. If earnings are deteriorating alongside price, a supposed pullback may be a repricing of the business.
Every pullback can become a larger decline. Define exposure and invalidation before entering; the site helps organize data but cannot replace risk management.
