**🔄 #TradingPairs101: Master trading pairs like a pro**

Did you know that not all cryptos are purchased with dollars? In trading, **pairs** are key. Let me explain:

### **1️⃣ What is a trading pair?**

It is the relationship between two assets that you can exchange (e.g.: **BTC/USDT**).

- **Base (BTC)**: The asset you buy/sell.

- **Quote (USDT)**: The asset you use as a reference.

### **2️⃣ Types of pairs:**

🔵 **Major pairs (Majors)**:

- BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT (the most liquid).

- Low spreads, ideal for beginners.

🟢 **Altcoin pairs**:

- SOL/ETH, ADA/BTC (crypto vs crypto).

- More volatility, opportunities (and risks).

⚠️ **Exotic pairs**:

- New projects with low volume (e.g.: SHIB/BNB).

- High risk of slippage and low liquidity.

### **3️⃣ How to choose?**

✅ **Pairs with USD/USDT**: If you want stability.

✅ **BTC/ALT pairs**: If you believe an altcoin will outperform Bitcoin.

❌ Avoid pairs with low volume (or you'll suffer with orders!).

📌 **Advanced tip:** In DEXs like Uniswap, pairs with WETH usually have better liquidity.
