Stocks will keep going down at least until they start going up again. We will know for sure when that happens because price changes will switch directions from downward to upward. The main indicator that we can use to identify this switch is that we will start to see stock prices rising instead of falling. That will tell us when the direction of stocks has changed from moving down to moving up. Once we observe that stocks are frequently going upward, we will less frequently observe them going downward. This observation will tell us that, on average, a given stock will now be rising instead of falling. In other words, the price of that stock would likely to be going up, and unlikely to be going down. However, if circumstances change, instead of moving upward, the stock might move downward. In such a case, the value of an investor's holdings of that stock would not be rising, and would instead be falling. In basic scenarios, investors prefer to invest in stocks with prices that have an upward direction, and not a downward direction. Investors that mostly invest in the former can expect to see the overall values of their portfolios rise instead of fall. This means that the prices of the stocks within those portfolios are, on average, going up and not going down. Thus, individual stocks may have their own trajectory, but the general direction would be upward instead of downward. In fact, if a stock's price is changing, then that means it is either rising or falling.
