Economic Times:
Tulip mania is used as a metaphor to describe an economic bubble. People start investing in a particular asset in large quantities because of positive sentiments about it. This pushes the prices of that asset to very high levels. After reaching a peak, prices suffer a sharp fall due to an extensive sell off, leaving the asset holders bankrupt. These assets are metaphorically called tulips.
Example sentences:
Tulip mania gets brought up again and again, as a warning to investors not to be stupid, or to stay away from what some might call a good thing. (The Conversation)
The enduring power of so-called Tulip Mania means it still gets trotted out in 2018 when people talk about Bitcoin, which reached a record high last November, but has since fluctuated in value. (BBC.com)
But even if a form of tulip mania did strike Holland in 1636, did it reach every rung of society, from landed gentry to chimney-sweeps? Goldgar says no. Most of the buyers were the sort you would expect to be speculating in luxury goods—people who could afford it. (History)

tulipánová horúčka
Definition from
Wikipedia:
Tulipánová horúčka bola fenoménom "Zlatých časov Holandska", zhruba od 1588 do 1672. Ceny hľúz tulipánov vtedy rástli, pričom najprudší nárast bol od roku 1634 až do februára 1637 keď ceny náhle skolabovali. Termín "tulipánová horúčka" sa odvtedy často používa ako metafóra na označenie ekonomickej bubliny, v ktorej sa ceny zdvihli na úroveň podstatne vyššiu než sú hodnoty.
Example sentences:
V 17. storočí Amsterdam aj celé Holandsko zachvátila tulipánová horúčka – aj jediná cibuľka tulipánu mohla svojmu majiteľovi priniesť nesmierny majetok. (Kinorama)
