After that big of a move, you gotta think, small relief bounce for shorts to take profits before hitting it again.

Bottom line: you're fighting the trend. The stock was tanking. Don't try to be the guy who picks the bottom. You'll never do it. The trend is your friend. Short stocks that are flushing, long stocks that have strong upward momentum. Don't ever falter from that until you are consistently profitable, then you can gamble and try to be "that guy" ;)
