Deep Market Flush

Definition

A deep market flush refers to a rapid and significant decline in asset prices, often accompanied by widespread selling. This event typically involves a sudden liquidation of positions across the market, driven by panic selling, margin calls, or automated stop-loss triggers. It results in a sharp decrease in market capitalization and can lead to capitulation among less resilient holders. Such a flush frequently clears out excess leverage and weak market participants, potentially setting the stage for a subsequent recovery.
