"Selloff," "correction," "bear market" — these words show up in every red-day headline, but they mean different things. A pullback is a dip of less than 10%: the market catching its breath after a rally. A correction is a 10% drop from a recent peak — uncomfortable, but most years have one. A bear market is a 20% or deeper fall over months, signaling something structurally wrong. Thursday's AI slide — Oracle ($ORCL) down about 5%, chipmakers off 3% — was only a mild pullback for the S&P 500. Knowing the labels keeps one bad day in perspective. Not financial advice.
