this is totally bound by 2 single days. 

a single drop X days ago will tell you TODAY is UPTREND - even if the whole 
period is flat at best.

same for a single spike TODAY against X days ago. A "trend" is certainly the 
behaviour of 2 single days out of a group. 

A simple MA or a regression line should give better results :-)
