Peter,
"Monotonic 2.Math a. (of a function or a particular set of values of a function) increasing or decreasing."
Monotonously decreasing captures the essence, however ;)

I used the term purposely because it seemed to me that the EMA might be forgiven a single lapse in its ordained 30-day descent.

Morris says re identifying the trend that "Numerous tests were performed on vast amounts of data with the finding that a 10-day EMA seemed to work as well as any, especially when you recall that candlesticks have a short-term orientation".
