A 2-5% Pullback Is Not A Crisis

As big events loom ahead, a small pullback would be totally normal

The market dipped. That’s normal.

On yesterday’s Profit Panel, the team spelled it out: “having a little 2-3% correction… even a 3-4-5% correction is totally fine…”

This week also brings the usual policy noise with the week of the Fed’s Jackson Hole meeting always being a bit of an odd week.Not to mention that the biggest earnings in the market — NVDA — hits next week.

Here’s what that means in plain English:

Into a headline-heavy week, price often wobbles, then finds support near “known” levels.

The team highlighted two simple tells: a gamma pocket in SPY around 632–635 and the 20-day moving average acting like a guardrail.

If we tag those areas and hold, it’s typically a sign of a healthy reset, not a trend break.

How to use it:

  • Investors: No need to chase headlines. Stay with quality; let the 20-day do its job.
  • Active traders: Keep size small. Let price come to you. If we bounce at a mapped level, take the base hit. If we break cleanly, stand down and wait for the next spot

The Takeaway

A small pullback into Jackson Hole and NVDA isn’t a crisis. It’s the market catching its breath. Breathe with it, map your levels, and avoid fear trades.
