[ SLANG ][ TRADING ]
A self-reinforcing cycle where declining liquidity causes prices to drop, which triggers more selling, which further reduces liquidity.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Once the liquidity spiral started nobody could exit at a reasonable price, each sale made the next one worse."
LORE & ORIGIN
Standard trading terminology naming the specific downward-spiraling failure mode, distinct from a general liquidity trap by emphasizing the compounding, accelerating nature of the decline.
