Judgement is all we have when we should decide whether to give in or not. Who are your competitors? In other words, who are the buyers & sellers? What motivates them and what will they do?

They will get scared when it goes down. For instance, a typical pension fund will buy more assets when the market goes down because they need to rebalance their portfolio in a mechanical way.
