How it's used
Focuses specifically on the trajectory or direction of a situation rather than just a general pattern. It is most frequently used in contexts involving finance, markets, or sports scores where there is a clear sense of movement over time. It carries a slightly more analytical tone than simply saying 發展.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 趨勢, which is a more formal or written term for general trends. Using 走勢 in casual conversation about personal habits or social phenomena can sound overly technical or like you are discussing a financial report.
