Flash crashes are sudden, dramatic drops in asset prices that occur in a very short time, often caused by algorithmic trading or technical glitches. In trading, flash crashes can create significant volatility and disrupt markets, leading to liquidity shortages and sharp price recoveries. Traders must stay vigilant during flash crashes, as they present opportunities for short-term profits or risks for long-term investors. Risk management strategies, such as stop-loss orders, are essential to mitigate the impact of flash crashes.
