Continuous Trading describes a market mechanism where participants can execute trades at any time during market hours, without specific auction periods or scheduled halts. In cryptocurrency markets, this typically extends to 24 hours a day, seven days a week, allowing for constant price discovery and transaction execution. This model contrasts with traditional markets that often have fixed trading sessions and closing times.
