Disorderly Market
A situation in which trading on a security is exceptionally volatile, especially when there is no apparent reason for it. A disorderly market may arise when short sellers are attempting to cover their positions, or when there is an order imbalance, among other reasons. Exchanges sometimes stop trade in a disorderly market to encourage smooth trading as much as possible.
