#MarketTurbulence

Market turbulence refers to periods when asset prices move sharply and unpredictably, often caused by heightened uncertainty, sudden news events, or shifts in investor sentiment.

It’s usually marked by:

High volatility — rapid price swings in short timeframes.

Increased trading volume as investors react quickly.

Wide bid–ask spreads due to reduced liquidity.

Correlated sell-offs or rallies across multiple assets.

Common triggers include:

Economic shocks (e.g., interest rate changes, inflation spikes).

Geopolitical events (wars, sanctions, political instability).

Market structure stress (margin calls, liquidity crunches).

Investor panic or euphoria driven by sentiment shifts.

Think of it as the financial market’s version of flying through a thunderstorm — the ride gets bumpy, instruments start blinking, and everyone’s either fastening their seatbelts or looking for the emergency exit.
