🔄 Trading Pairs: The Language of Every Trade

Confused by all those weird combos like BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC? Let’s break it down 🔍

đŸ”č What’s a Trading Pair?

A trading pair is two assets you can exchange with each other. It shows what you're buying and what you're paying with.

📌 Example:

BTC/USDT = You're buying BTC and paying in USDT (Tether).

ETH/BTC = You're buying ETH using BTC as the quote currency.

đŸ”č Base vs. Quote Currency:

First = Base (what you’re buying)

Second = Quote (what you’re spending)

📊 Think of it like:

> 1 BTC/USDT = $70,000

This means 1 Bitcoin costs 70,000 Tether.

🔾 Why It Matters:

✅ Knowing your quote currency helps you understand trade direction

✅ Lets you plan your portfolio better

✅ Avoids costly trading mistakes

💡 Pro Tip:

Always double-check what you’re buying and what you’re spending. Swapping the pair = flipping the trade.

🧠 If you're trading on mobile, use the Binance pair search bar wisely. Type the asset you’re using to pay (USDT, BTC, BUSD, etc.) to avoid confusion.
