We'll see how price tested the 4.825 level four times (twice on the 9th and twice on the 11th), before reacting heavily and heading south, thus proving that resistance was indeed strong. Secondly, price has been heading down for many days anyway, i.e. the long term trend is bearish. And thirdly, on the 11th, we'll notice that price had closed above the upper Bollinger line with an impending Stoch reversal. So all these factors combined made the drop fairly obvious.

If not, then expect consolidation between that and 4.000.
