Bing search ranking absolutely tanked after I made Bing Webmaster Tools account??

First time website owner here.

I noticed an unexpected amount of traffic to my new site over the past week (more than expected, since I had not advertised it anywhere, etc). Searching some various search engines, I found that Bing was somehow showing my site as the second result for a particular set of key words (that Google wasn't showing for the same words)

Keen to learn some more, I went and made an account for Bing Webmaster Tools.

Within the next day, my website completely disappeared from the first results page for those same key words on Bing (website traffic dropped to 0, as expected).

Anyone know what might have happened here? Was it simply a coincidence that this occurred at the same time I made an account for Bing Webmaster Tools (Bing suddenly realised to not rank my site so high, as is the case on Google)? Or is this somehow linked to me making an account?
