Wondering if forex is truly 24/7?

Wondering if forex is truly 24/7? The foreign exchange (FX) market runs around the clock on business days, but not nonstop all week. From Sunday evening to Friday evening (New York time), banks, institutions, and retail brokers connect across global hubs so currency pairs can trade continuously as one region hands off to the next. Activity flows through four major sessions - Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York - with liquidity and volatility peaking during session overlaps, especially London-New York. Knowing when the market is open helps you plan entries, reduce spreads, and avoid quiet hours. While some brokers offer quotes on weekends, interbank FX is effectively closed, so pricing can be thin and gaps may appear at the weekly open. This page explains real forex hours, best times to trade, and what to expect during holidays and daylight-saving shifts, so you can time your strategy with confidence. We'll also cover common myths about 24/7 trading and how your timezone and broker's server time affect the schedule you see on charts.
