#TradingPairs101 📊 How Trading Pairs Work & Choosing the Right Ones for Your Strategy 🔁💡

In crypto trading, assets are always traded in pairs—like BTC/USDT or ETH/SOL. A trading pair tells you what you're buying (the base) and what you're using to buy it (the quote). For example, in BTC/USDT, you're buying Bitcoin using Tether (USDT). The price shown is how much 1 BTC costs in USDT.

Picking the right trading pair depends on your strategy:

🔹 Scalpers & Day Traders: Look for high liquidity pairs like BTC/USDT or ETH/USDC. These pairs have tighter spreads and faster execution.

🔹 Swing Traders: Consider pairs with strong trends or volatility, like SOL/ETH or INJ/USDT. These offer better opportunities for medium-term moves.

🔹 Hodlers & Investors: Focus on major base assets (like ETH, BTC) paired with stablecoins to easily enter or exit positions without much slippage.
