**Trading Pair 101**

A trading pair consists of two cryptocurrencies traded against each other on an exchange (e.g., BTC/ETH). The first currency is the *base asset*, and the second is the *quote asset*. The pair’s price shows how much of the quote asset is needed to buy one unit of the base asset.

Major pairs include BTC/USD or ETH/BTC. Traders analyze price movements, liquidity, and volatility to profit from fluctuations. Understanding trading pairs is essential for crypto trading, as they determine market opportunities, trading fees, and strategies like arbitrage or swing trading. Always research before trading!
