#TradingPairs101 🎯 Crypto Trading Fundamentals Deep Dive – Topic #5: #TradingPairs101

Choosing the right trading pair is more than just picking your favorite coin — it’s a strategic move that can directly impact your profits and risk exposure. 📊

🔍 Here’s what to know:

💱 How do trading pairs work?

Every pair includes a base asset (what you’re buying/selling) and a quote asset (what you’re using to measure value).

Example: In BTC/USDT, BTC is the base, and USDT is the quote.

💵 Stablecoin vs. Crypto-Denominated Pairs – What’s Your Style?

I personally trade more in stablecoin pairs like USDT or BUSD — they offer more predictability, especially during volatile swings.

But in bull runs, crypto-to-crypto pairs (like ETH/BTC) can offer better growth opportunities.

✅ How to choose the right pair?

Look at liquidity and spread

Choose pairs aligned with your risk appetite

Consider your portfolio goals (e.g., stacking BTC vs locking USD profits)

📈 Real Trade Example:

Trading ADA/BTC during a sideways BTC market helped me accumulate more ADA without worrying about USD value.

But once BTC started surging, I missed out on gains by not holding a USD-pegged pair. Lesson learned!
