#TradingPairs101 **Trading Pairs 101: The Matchmaking of Crypto**

Trading pairs are the dating apps of finance—some matches are smooth, others are pure chaos. **BTC/USDT?** The OG power couple. Stable, liquid, and boringly reliable. **ETH/BTC?** The volatile duo—when they move together, it’s harmony; when they diverge, it’s a bloodbath.

Then there’s the wildcards: **memecoins paired against USDT or ETH**, where liquidity evaporates faster than a Snapchat message. One big buy or sell and the price swings like a drunk at karaoke.

Exotic pairs? **Low-volume alts against each other**—a recipe for slippage and regret. Pro tip: Stick to majors unless you enjoy being exit liquidity.

In trading, your pair choice decides your risk. Pick wisely, or end up holding bags in a ghost town.
