'gefallen' and 'gestiegen' can appear as opposites when talking about numbers, prices, or values. 'gestiegen' means that something has become greater or higher. In this context, 'gefallen' means that something has become less or lower. There is a risk of confusion because 'gefallen' can also be another verb, for example in 'Das gefällt mir'. With prices or temperatures, you should therefore pay attention to the context: 'gestiegen' goes up, 'gefallen' goes down.
