Market anomalies are patterns in stock market behavior that contradict the efficient market hypothesis, which states that asset prices fully reflect all available information. These anomalies indicate that prices may not always behave rationally, often due to psychological biases and irrational behaviors exhibited by investors, leading to mispricings in the market. Understanding these anomalies can provide insights into behavioral economics and inform future research directions in this field.
