#TradingPairs101

In crypto trading, trading pairs are two assets traded against each other, like BTC/ETH or BTC/USD. The first asset is the base currency, and the second is the quote currency. A BTC/ETH pair means you're buying BTC using ETH. Prices reflect how much of the quote currency is needed to get one unit of the base currency. Choosing the right pair affects your profits, fees, and liquidity. Traders use popular pairs (e.g., BTC/USDT) for stability, while altcoin pairs offer volatility and opportunity. Understanding pairs helps you navigate exchanges smartly and make strategic trades. Always check pair liquidity before trading.
