if you bring up an xao chart over a 25 year period it could fall to 3500 and still be in a long term uptrend.

only broke through 3500 back in june 2006, from that point in time the chart has become vertical.

very hard to see it give up all the gains in has made in the past few years but 5000 wouldnt be impossible. as i posted on a different thread, some very respected analysts are calling a correction down to 5500 to 5700.
