#TradingPairs101 💱 What are trading pairs and how do they work in crypto?
If you are just starting out — know this: on an exchange, you always trade one coin against another, rather than just "buying" or "selling". For example, in the pair BTC/USDT, you buy Bitcoin with stablecoins USDT. And in the pair ETH/BTC — you buy Ethereum with Bitcoin.
When choosing a pair, it's important to consider:
• The volatility of both coins
• Trading volume (the higher, the better the liquidity)
• Which asset you want to hold: base or quoted
A trading pair is your tool, and the choice affects your strategy. 📈
Want to trade altcoins? Look at pairs like SOL/USDT or ARB/USDC. Learn to read charts and over time you will understand which pair is easier to catch movement in.
