Correction is a correction is a drop usually a sudden and substantial one of 10% or more in the price of an individual stock, bond, commodity, index, or the market as a whole. Market analysts anticipate market corrections when security prices are high in relation to company earnings and other indicators of economic health. When a market correction is greater than 10% and the prices do not begin to recover promptly, some analysts point to the correction as the beginning of a bear market.
