Why does the market slow down after a rise

After a sharp increase, the market almost always slows down. The simple reason is that some participants are taking profits, and new buyers are hesitant to enter at the highs.
Additionally, the news background influences this: initially, positive news gives an impulse, then doubts appear — and the market pauses. This is a normal phase after a movement, where it is decided whether there will be a continuation or a pullback.
