#TradingPairs101 A trading pair compares the value of one asset to another, showing how much of one you need to buy the other. Common in forex and crypto, examples include BTC/ETH or EUR/USD. The base currency comes first (what you’re buying), and the quote currency comes second (what you’re spending). If BTC/ETH = 15, you need 15 ETH to buy 1 BTC. Understanding pairs helps you analyze relative value and make informed trades. Some assets are only tradable via specific pairs, so knowing how to navigate them is key. Master trading pairs to unlock broader market opportunities and smarter strategies.
