Important Notes

While Bitget supports 7×24h trading, please keep the following points in mind:

• Liquidity differences: Liquidity during pre-market, after-hours, and overnight sessions is typically lower than during regular trading hours, and the bid-ask spread may be wider.

• News impact: Material announcements from listed companies may be released outside of regular trading hours, potentially causing sharp price swings.

• U.S. public holidays: U.S. stock markets remain closed on major holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Independence Day.

• Standard Time adjustment: From November through March each year, Beijing Time shifts one hour later relative to ET.

• Risk warning: The information above is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice. Actual trading hours, rules, and available stocks are subject to what is displayed on the Bitget platform.
