Seems like in English it means both up and down. However I agree its not the best word to use for upward movement. Also 0.5% is not really dramatic, but if it was 1% can say plunge.

Maybe they wanted to take out the eswaha katavaha when going up.

For the english I know, plunge is usually used for dips.

Oxford dictionary says below as first entries...

Jump or dive quickly and energetically:our little daughters whooped as they plunged into the sea

Fall suddenly and uncontrollably:
