When to trade BTCUSD from Australia
Liquidity peaks when the US market is open; macro data (CPI, FOMC) and ETF flows move it strongly. Weekends are thinner but can be volatile. In Australia time (today): New York cash open: 01:30–03:30. From Australia part of that window falls late at night: many traders only trade its first hour or use pending orders with a stop and take profit.
BTCUSD trades 24/7. 2-Step and 3-Step evaluations pause trading over the weekend: from Australia, Saturday 07:45 to Monday 09:00. Accounts without that rule can trade crypto at weekends too; the rules page lists each programme.
