#TradingPairs101 Cryptocurrency Trading Pairs:
Trading pairs allow you to trade one cryptocurrency against another or against a stablecoin like USDT. The idea is simple: buy low and sell high.
**Example with BTC/USDT:**
If the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is at **$105,000 USDT** and you believe it will rise, you buy it. If then BTC reaches **$110,000 USDT**, you sell it and make **$5,000 USDT** for each Bitcoin. If, on the other hand, you believe it will drop, you can sell BTC at $100,000 and buy it back cheaper (e.g., at $95,000), making a profit.
This strategy is popular because USDT maintains a stable value (1 USDT ≈ $1), which makes it easier to calculate profits. However, it's always important to analyze the market before trading.
