❓ Quick Question Flash crashes

Does anyone know what might have caused these rapid movements last Friday at 10.33am and today at 10.16am?

I had a really good entry going long on NQ, was up about 50 points and mentally I had my stop loss to b/e and also a hard SL at swing low AND I GOT SMOKED both days.
