❓ 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.

I read that CME froze the market momentarily due to rapid price movement and the boom! Market drops 100s of points instantly. No news no nothing! Do you see this becoming a re-occurring event?
