# 21600 – Market Sentiment & Behavioural Analysis

APN Codex Node 21600 · 21000 Series — Market Analysis (Objective)

### Market Sentiment & Behavioural Analysis

1What This Series Covers
The 21600 series tracks how market participants actually behave — investor versus owner-occupier lending patterns, herd psychology, price volatility, sentiment surveys, first home buyer lending shares, and the media framing environment that conditions all of the above — as distinct from the policy and regulatory settings that condition that behaviour, which are tracked in earlier series. Market Sentiment & Behavioural Analysis (21600) does not carry its own composite reading; it is a taxonomy grouping over eight component nodes.
