Time and bad results. That said the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

I think you are right. A minor shock in share price from a bad profit announcement will cause certain traders to have to sell to stop the loss getting worse, probably by an automated stop-loss order. This will start a chain reaction.
