Against the citywide trend

Dubai overall moved -6.4% over the same period — Business Bay is moving with the wider market, not against it.

What a seven-month trend can and cannot tell you

This covers one window, not a cycle. Monthly medians move with the mix of what happened to transact as much as with genuine price change, and a swing this size over seven months is not evidence of a multi-year direction. Treat it as a description of the recent past, not a forecast.
