This paper presents an in-depth exploration of big data methodologies tailored for the U.S. stock market, focusing on stock valuation, trading volumes, hedge fund strategies, and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF) dynamics. Recognizing the exigency for refined data analysis techniques in the rapidly evolving financial sector, this study meticulously integrates big data analytics to proffer enhanced accuracy and profound insights into stock market trends and behaviors. Traditional financial analysis methods, while robust, often fall short in coping with the complexity and vastness of modern financial datasets. Big data technologies emerge as a pivotal solution, offering the ability to process and interpret extensive datasets with higher precision and speed. This research pivots around a comprehensive approach to data collection, incorporating daily, weekly, and monthly trading volumes, alongside a deep dive into the dynamics of stock prices and ETF market trends. The study leverages a substantial dataset, ensuring a robust and comprehensive analysis. In addressing the research problem, this paper critically analyzes the existing literature, unveiling a notable gap in the application of big data technologies in financial market analytics. This gap is particularly evident in the nuanced analysis of the U.S. stock market, where traditional methods may not fully capture the complexities of modern financial data. The study's contribution is significant, offering novel insights and methodologies that enhance the predictive accuracy and reliability of financial market interpretations, a boon for investors and policymakers alike. The methodology employed encompasses a suite of advanced big data tools and analytical techniques, including statistical analysis, predictive modeling, and machine learning algorithms. These are meticulously applied to the collated financial datasets, focusing on discerning patterns, trends, and potential investment opportunities within the U.S. stock market. The research goes beyond mere data collection, offering a nuanced analysis that includes a detailed examination of market dynamics, stock performance predictions, and the identification of anomalous market behaviors.
