#TradingPairs101 Trading Pairs 101: The Basics You Need to Know

A trading pair shows how two assets are exchanged—like BTC/USDT, where Bitcoin is traded against Tether. The first asset (BTC) is what you're buying or selling, and the second (USDT) is what you’re using to trade. Pairs can be crypto-to-fiat (ETH/USD), crypto-to-crypto (ETH/BTC), or stablecoin-based (ADA/USDT). Understanding pairs helps you track value, compare prices, and plan entries or exits. Popular pairs have higher liquidity, making trading smoother. Always check pair strength, volume, and volatility before trading. Mastering trading pairs is essential for navigating exchanges and maximizing profit opportunities in any market condition.
