#TradingPairs101 In the world of cryptocurrency and forex, understanding trading pairs is fundamental. A trading pair compares the value of one asset to another, such as BTC/ETH or USD/EUR. The first currency in the pair is the base, and the second is the quote. So, BTC/ETH shows how much ETH you need to buy one BTC. Traders use pairs to speculate on the price movements between two assets, aiming to profit from the changes. Not all assets can be directly exchanged, so knowing which pairs are available is crucial for strategy and liquidity. Always research pair volatility before trading.
