Investopedia explains 'Sold-Out Market'

Generally, sold-out markets occur in the futures industry or in industries that have limited liquidity to begin with. Once a market is sold-out, no contracts are available and trading grinds to a halt. This lack of activity is similar to what one sees in over-the-counter markets from time to time, where buyers sometime struggle to find sellers and vice versa.
