The foreign exchange market is available to traders around the world 24 hours a day. This is due to the fact that trading participants live in different time zones. When traders finish trading in one time zone, the trading session only begins on the other side of the earth. Except for the days off: Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays when there is no trading on the world’s exchanges. However, crypto assets are available for trading 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
