retracement

Going back over

Retracement is the act of going back over a path or route already traveled: Police asked him to retrace his steps, and the retracement led them to the crime scene.

In financial markets, a retracement is a temporary reversal in a stock or index's direction—a pullback within a larger trend: The dip looked like a retracement, not a full reversal.
