Has the price officially broken the uptrend, it's hard to tell as poloniex only using 1 month or the beginning of time as the two charting options.
Also what caused the official spike down was it just FUD or something more serious, BTC usually takes news of a major exchange hack or a massive DDOS attack to spur a serious downtrend.
I see no evidence of a break in the trend. Up from 97k to 340k currently, which is a continuation from 320k before the failed run (on very low volume) at 400k.
Obviously time will tell.
I'm not aware of any "big news" other than de-anon FUD (if you wan't to call that big news even).
