How Do Economists Predict Market Trends?

Economists use clues to guess what will happen next in the market. Imagine you're playing a game where you watch other players' moves and try to figure out their strategy. Economists do something similar by looking at data like prices, jobs, and money flow. They make smart guesses based on these clues, just like predicting the winner of a race.
