bubble burst

1) When something has been going exceeding well only to then run its inevitable course and either decline or fail altogether; a market correction.

2) a term adopted in business to describe an event that is currently faultering or failing or has the potential to do so.
1) I thought my job as a lawyer was recession-proof, but when Jesus returned, sent all the sinners to hell and left everyone remaining on Earth singing Kum By Ya, that bubble burst!

2) In 2007: My house was just appraised at 130% of what I bought it for and I don't think the market can support more than that for much longer. I'm going to sell it now before the bubble bursts next year.

Burst your bubble

To burst someone's bubble is to reveal something to them that they were unaware or ignorant of, often in the form of bad news. However, it doesn't necessarily have to be something negative (see example 2).
Example 1: Sorry to burst your bubble, but your "perfect" girlfriend is cheating on you with Dave.

Example 2: Sorry to burst your bubble, but pearls are not formed from compressed coal. You're thinking of diamonds.
