走势 (zǒu shì) is a noun meaning 'trend, tendency', used specifically for observable, often charted movements in prices, markets, or economic situations. It is more concrete and data-driven than 趋势 (qū shì), which is a broader, more abstract 'trend' in any domain (social, political, etc.). Unlike 动向 (dòng xiàng), which focuses on the direction of actions or developments, 走势 emphasizes the pattern or trajectory of measurable changes.
