selloff
A selloff is a financial term indicating a rapid selling of a significant amount of securities, such as stocks, bonds, futures contracts, and commodities, typically prompted by a specific event or market concerns. These sales usually result in a quick, notable decline in prices due to a surge in supply and reduction in demand. Selloffs can often lead to a widespread panic in the market or contribute to a bear market scenario.
