Definition
Market analysis is a repeatable process for organizing economic, fundamental, technical, positioning, and instrument evidence into testable scenarios and risk decisions.
In market context
A durable framework separates observed facts from estimates, identifies the channels that could move an asset, and records evidence that would challenge each scenario. It also distinguishes a market view from the chosen instrument, whose fees, leverage, liquidity, and expiry can change the result. Analysis narrows uncertainty rather than removing it, so position size and review rules remain essential over time.
