This is because funds have now been maintaining very low cash positions to service redemption requests. When there is a large interest by people in liquidating their fund holdings, this forces the fund at a disadvantageous time to liquidate their stock positions. They have no choice or time to unwind their position. So you have allot of anxious sell orders hitting the market at once. Some funds have arranged for a line of credit to help mitigate this issue.
