#TradingPairs101 Trading pairs like BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC represent the exchange rate between two cryptocurrencies. When trading BTC/USDT, you're buying or selling BTC in terms of USDT. Understanding base and quote currencies is key—first is what you're buying/selling, second is what you're using. Major pairs (BTC, ETH) have better liquidity. Exotic pairs may offer higher volatility but come with risk. Pair selection can affect spreads, slippage, and profit potential. Always evaluate volume before entering a trade.
