If you’re asking will forex market open today?, the answer depends on what day today is and your local time.

If Today Is Sunday

Yes, the forex market will open today.

• The forex market opens globally every Sunday at 10:00 PM GMT with the Sydney session.
• Depending on your location, this may be:
  • 3:30 AM Monday IST (India)
  • 11:00 PM Sunday BST (UK)
  • 6:00 PM Sunday EST (New York)
  • 12:00 AM Monday SAST (South Africa)

So if it’s Sunday before 10:00 PM GMT, the market has not yet opened — but it will open later today.
