Most economists see the assumption of continuous market clearing as not very realistic. However, many see the assumption of flexible prices as useful in long-run analysis, since prices are not stuck forever
Market clearing price is the price at which the quantity demanded of a product equals the quantity supplied.
A market clearing price is the price at which demand equals supply, so that the market "clears" (i.e., all of the goods supplied find a buyer).
The price that exists when a market is clear of shortage and surplus, or is in equilibrium.

state assumption of perfect competition
Competition eliminates shortages and surpluses by setting a market- clearing price.
The market clearing model is a model where prices adjust to equilibrating demand and supply meaning the quantity supply equals the quantity demanded. These models are useful for studying situations where prices are flexible.
A market is considered to be clear when supply equals demand, meaning all goods produced are sold without excess inventory or shortages. This typically occurs in competitive markets where prices adjust freely to balance supply and demand. It is appropriate to assume a market is clear in the long run, under conditions of perfect competition and when external factors, such as government interventions or market distortions, are minimal. Short-term fluctuations may prevent a market from clearing, so assumptions should be made with caution during those periods.
