Think about it, the path of least resistance is always down.... without buying pressure and news the stock will drift.... path of least resistance down as you most definitely require buying pressure or positive news for stock to rise...... has nothing to do with what the market as a whole is doing....just because one stock in a sector is rising does not imply that all in that sector will rise.
