# **What Are Bitcoin (BTC) Trading Pairs?**

A BTC trading pair represents the value of Bitcoin relative to another asset. For example:

- **BTC/USD**: Bitcoin priced in US dollars.

- **BTC/USDT**: Bitcoin priced in Tether (a stablecoin pegged to the USD).

- **BTC/ETH**: Bitcoin priced in Ethereum.

Exchanges list these pairs to facilitate trading. When you trade BTC against another asset, you’re either buying BTC (using the paired currency) or selling BTC (to acquire the paired currency).

# **Tips for Trading BTC Pairs**

1. **Stick to Major Exchanges**: Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken offer security and liquidity.

2. **Use Limit Orders**: Avoid slippage by setting precise buy/sell prices.

3. **Monitor Macro Trends**: Bitcoin’s price often reacts to Fed policies, ETF flows, or geopolitical events.

4. **Diversify**: Don’t overexpose to a single pair—balance BTC with stablecoins or altcoins.
