Many investors are mutual funds, hedge funds, & Govrnment retirement funds, that hire top advisors to manage their portfolios of stocks & investments.
They all have stop loss programs entered into their investment portfolios. When certain stocks decline, for any number of reasons, other stocks may have to be sold off to meet "Margin" requirements.
Hence, we get many investments of all types in a mad sell off pattern, that may or may not persist until things calm down.
Unfortunately, investors also use the "Herd" mentality where they all rush for the door out at once, before it closes.

Quite possibly. We will have to see what the Fed does. If they do not cut interest rates soon, chances are pretty good that it is time to consider switching positions from bull to bear.
