Market Efficiency
The degree to which asset prices fully reflect all available information. The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) proposes three forms: weak, semi-strong, and strong efficiency. In highly efficient markets, it is difficult to achieve consistent returns above the market average through active trading or analysis.
Example
“A trader argued that crypto markets are less efficient than stock markets because insider information and whale activity can move prices significantly before news becomes public.”
