What is the most accurate translation for this term in English? I think I get the idea that it means for things to start going downhill, but I'm not certain, that isn't precise enough and I'm looking for a one or two-word equivalent. The writer is Colombian and describing his investments in the stock market. Thanks in advance!
"Todo parece indicar que la situacion sigue siendo positiva y permancecerá así por algun tiempo. Me parece que el gran secreto es detectar con tiempo *la destorcida* para así poder aprovechar un buen momento de salida."

Comment: "Both patinba and William Pairman hit this on the nose. Wish I could credit you both!! It's precisely the term I was seeking but braindead on. Thanks to both of you, and let's hope we have reason to cheer an "UPTURN" pretty darn soon!"

: I prefer this one, because "destorcida" gives me the impression of "taking a turn for the best", or "relaxation"

Thank you for the agree, Idfx, although in Colombia the expression never refers to a turn for the best or for relaxing.
