Bloodletting
A period of severe investing losses.

Investopedia Says:
The term comes from a medieval medical practice that involved bleeding out a patient. It was believed that afflictions resided in the blood and could be eliminated by draining away a large quantity. Thankfully, this practice has been abandoned.
