đ What are crypto trading pairs? How I choose the right ones for my strategy
#TradingPairs101
If you're new to crypto trading, one term you'll see everywhere is âtrading pairs.â But what exactly are they?
A crypto trading pair lets you trade one cryptocurrency for another. Itâs written like this: BTC/USD5 â meaning youâre buying Bitcoin using Tether (USDT) or selling BTC for USDT.
So how do I choose the right pair?
đ 1. Liquidity is key
The higher the liquidity, the smoother and faster the trade. I stick with pairs that have a large trading volume. For example, ETH/USDT or BNB/BTC.
đ 2. Strategy alignment
If Iâm looking to accumulate a coin long-term, Iâll trade in stable pairs like SOL/USDT. If Iâm flipping for quick profits, I might use more volatile pairs like DOGE/BTC.
đ 3. Market trends
When a specific ecosystem is trending (e.g. AI tokens or L2s), I look for pairs like FET/USDT or ARB/ETH, depending on the hype and chart setup.
đ 4. Fees and spread
Some low-volume pairs have higher spreads. I avoid these unless I see a very strong reason to enter. Precision matters in scalping or day trading.
