#CEXvsDEX101 *Understanding BTC Pair and Trading*
BTC pairs are one of the most popular trading options in the crypto market. A BTC pair means you’re trading a cryptocurrency against Bitcoin (BTC), such as ETH/BTC or ADA/BTC. Instead of buying or selling with fiat like USD or GHS, you're using Bitcoin as the base currency. This method helps traders measure the performance of altcoins relative to Bitcoin.
Trading in BTC pairs can be profitable if you understand market trends and how BTC's price movement affects altcoins. When BTC rises, altcoins may fall in BTC value even if their USD value remains the same. This makes BTC pair trading more technical and suitable for those who understand chart patterns and price action.
