Forex Trading Almost Never Stops
Trading hours for different markets vary, but the markets for most Forex pairs remain open for almost 24 hours a day from Monday to Friday. That is possible partly because of time difference. As the Australasia session ends, the European session begins followed by the North American one. In other words, as one market closes, another one in another part of the world opens often overlapping in time.
You can trade cryptocurrencies almost any time, as they are active 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, even on public holidays. That is because, unlike traditional markets, crypto markets are decentralized – there is no centralized governance controlling them. Cryptos are also traded all around the world, and the different time zones mean that the market is most probably always active somewhere.
