Which is more profitable trading ETH/USD or ETH/BTC

[sheenshane]

Can you give me insight, do you think trading via ETH/BTC is more profitable than ETH/USD? Please give me an advice.

It varies in the market condition which we don't know the exact answer to because of the fact that the crypto market can be highly volatile, which can make it difficult to predict price movements accurately.  So it's up to you which suits you, if you feel the market has a correction, stablecoin trading pair is the best shot, and if you know that the market becomes recovering then Ethereum or Bitcoin pair is the best trading pair since it's possibly more profitable due to the high volatility.

All of these need to have dip research before taking such action, your technical and fundamental analysis are should be followed which are your priorities.

If you're into accumulation then pair with other altcoins and not with a stable coin but if you want your trades to have a based form like in fiat (USD) then it's best to pair it with a stable coin or fiat.
Talking about what's more profitable depends on how you're closely taking a look at the market because either is profitable. And only you alone can approve and verify that based on your trading activities and style.
You trade in USD so you'll have the structural form of your trades and you've got the idea too easy because you're all relying to the value of your pair on USD.

I trade in usd as it's easier for me to track of. I convert my crypto to fiat at end of the day, hence usd is best. I lose upside of btc by doing this, but it negates downside as well.

Prior comments say —  choose btc pair in bull market, choose usd in bear, who can predict these market cycles?

[Oshosondy]

Yes thats what I am also thinking. But whats the use of crypto/crypto pairs, over crypto/fiat. Does it mean crypto/crypto pairs is only profitable during bullrun?

Did you mean BTC/USDT to be considered as fiat to crypto pair? No, they are also crypto to crypto pair, but just that USDT is pegged with USD which is fiat. The advantage is that they are pegged with fiat like dollar which most people are using to make calculation on spending and pegged with what they are spending, and because they are stable in price with USD.

Trading is profitable everyday and it depends on what are the strategies are we using for our trades, personally myself trade with stable pairs because I don't do much if technical analysis so prefer stable coin with BTC whereas some used to have extensive technical analysis over the crypto pair they are choosing so if the both goes in opposite direction and they manage to cash out at the right time then they can make huge margin over others.

You are right that people can make profit from trading, but that does not mean people are making profit all days. Some traders are losing more than what they gain and trading has been like gambling for some traders and they lose more. Also if you check leader boards on many trading sites, you will notice that everyone uses stable coin pairs, but which is expected because they trade in the derivative market where stable coins are pair with unstable coins. Be it of any pair, much technical analysis would help.

Aside from being able to easily know what you're gaining as profits or losing in a crypto/stable coin pair, you're mostly likely going to be confused when you see price at 0.0002 in a crypto/BTC pair. For clarification, I use stable pair over BTC pair and it is a whole lot risky to trade crypto/BTC pair in a downtrend market condition.

Depends on your preference. If you do like to snipped out profits on fiat or stable ones then USDT pair would be good but if you do want to accumulate bitcoin no matter on what the value or price
it would be in exchange of your ETH then BTC pair would be ideal.This is actually be depending on someones target because there are ones who doesnt really like that volatility much when it comes
to fiat value and this is why they do really involved themselves on stablecoins whereas there are people who do really mind off on accumulating bitcoin as much as they could
and this is why they do end up on otherwise.

[adaseb]

I did not have much luck trading pairs which are with a BTC counterpart. There are times maybe on the weekly chart where it helps to look at ETHBTC pairs but mostly the best way is to trade the ETHUSD pair.

If you are trading other currencies such as ETHEUR or ETHGBP then look at the ETHUSD chart instead if you want to trade with technical analysis.

[irhact]

Before giving you a suggestion, I would like to ask you that which pair will be convenient for you to easily calculate profit and loss ETH/USD or ETH/BTC?
I think your answer will be the same answer as mine and others answer and that is USD. So according to my opion  it will be best to use USD for trading not only just for ethereum it should be used in all cases. Because finding profit and loss is a big factor in trading, and it is often needed quickly so that's why it is always better to use stablecoins.

When you trade BTC/USD, it's a one way thing. Your profit only comes from how well Bitcoin performs. But that's not the same when you trade two coins against themselves. It must not be the coins listed by the OP since those two coins moves alike in the market, if Bitcoin pumps or dumps, there's every guarantee that Ethereum will follow next.

But when you trade a Altcoin against another like ETH, you could profit either in USD when you convert the profits to stablecoin or profits in the coin amount that you received. e.g let say you enter the trade with $2k and then it gave you 1 ETH for that amount and you trade your ETH against BNB. The market might make the trade not profitable in USD but you could still get more ETH amount when you close the trade.

Honestly, I haven't tried ETH/BTC and ETH/BUSD, I use BTC/BUSD for quite some time than ETH and I would say it was profiting. But the truth is that using highly volatile coins for trading is more profitable that is why most traders are using altcoins over BTC. If you have this now and are currently trading, I suggest that you open for other pairs like what I did in order to have a comparison. Because even if I tell you that this x/x is more profitable than this x/y, I'm not sure as well if you are also in profit as it will depend on the trader, not the coins that we are using.

Why don't you try both, and see which one suits you better?  There is no formula to judge which will bring more profit, they are just trading pairs that mean nothing. To be profitable requires a combination of many factors, if you have sufficient knowledge and experience, then choosing a currency pair to trade is not a factor to evaluate your profit. Depending on your strategy and analytical knowledge, choose for yourself the trading pairs that suit you best.

I don't know much about trading but I think trading ETH/BTC can definitely be profitable. Trading ETH/USD will make it a stablecoin due to which its price is always at the same position. But I think trading ETH/BTC can definitely be profitable when selling ETH to BTC. Then if the Bitcoin market grows then a good profit can be made. and long term bitcoin can be very profitable so for me trading ETH to BTC is the best.

Trading between cryptocurrencies such as ETH/BTC has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the main advantages is that you do not need to transfer your funds into dollars or other fiat currencies, which can take time and require additional fees. In addition, you can use the so-called "arbitrage strategy", which allows you to earn on the difference in prices between two cryptocurrencies on different exchanges. Ultimately, the choice between ETH/BTC and ETH/USD depends on your investment goals, strategy, and risk tolerance.

USD is dollar (not stablecoin) not but it is also stable. I think there's also stable coin paring for some cryptos. ETH/BTC pair is only profitable if BTC increases the moment we made a trade but not if the price goes down however we can always hodl our volatile crypto for a while and wait for their recovery before we sell them for profits.

Or we can just ask him if he prefers stability more than anything else then he should go for ETH/USD pair. If not and he wants profitability over stability then he must go for ETH/BTC pair. For you it may only look a simple trading pair but for others, it can mean a big thing already. There's even a thread here last time which states that non-USD/non-stable coin pairs are more profitable than USD/stable coin pairs. That guy must be serious and he might be a professional trader. There's still more in trading so you still got a point there.

[traderethereum]

Both can be profitable if you know how to trade well.
But if you don't have enough skills to do both, trading ETH/USDT will be better for you because at least you can see the price movement.
You can buy at a low price and sell at a high price which is always the case and can give you a profit.
But if you do futures trading, both can be profitable depending on the choice of entry to the market.
But for trading in the future, you need more skills to be able to set in the right direction.

USD is stable whereas BTC and ETH price varies in each and every second. So now if you consider a trading pair whose both values changes a lot, then the chances of getting more profit increases here. But you need to also make sure that, along with more profits, the chance of getting more loss also increases. If I was in place of you, then I would have gone for trading with ETH/USD or BTC/USD. I don’t want to take high risks and gamble during the trades. Basically the choice will completely vary from person to person. So choose wisely OP.

Without a strategy, trading is not considered profitable in any way, and if profits are made, they will be temporary.
The trading strategy will determine which direction you prefer, and the market situation governs the extent of profits. When the volatility in Bitcoin decreases, the stable currency pair is the best, and vice versa.

So don't think of it as black and white, but rather that at certain times one pair is better than the other and vice versa.

I guess it all depends on the purpose of the trade being made. other than to make a profit. Traders usually have other plans. such as trading to increase their Bitcoin quantity. then they will choose a Bitcoin pair for their trade.
but for traders who plan to withdraw profits in fiat, or hold stable assets. of course, their choice is trading with USDT pair. it will be safer even though stable assets are also affected by Bitcoin fluctuations in the market even though their value will not be as large as altcoins.

Trading cryptocurrencies is like jumping into a sea of sharks blindfolded with a sack of gold. Every decision you make is a chance to either swim to the top or sink to the bottom. It's a wild ride that can take you to the top of the world or leave you in the gutter.

As you know, trading two coins against each other is like playing chess with yourself. But you must remember that emotions can be your biggest ally or your worst enemy. It's like trying to keep a boat afloat during a storm, with emotions pulling in all directions.

So when you're trading altcoins, don't forget that the numbers are only half the story. Understanding the complex human psychology and market forces that govern the cryptocurrency world is crucial. Taking calculated risks and being prepared to pivot when the going gets tough is the key to success

Both trading options have a high potential for profit, but there is also a risk of losing your trading capital. Rather than focusing solely on the coins or pairs, it is critical to prioritize developing trading skills and understanding the market. Profitability as a trader stems from understanding how the market works. It should be noted that eth/btc is more volatile than eth/USD.

It depends on the preferences of each trader. Those trading pairs are an option traders can take advantage of, but I also tend to use stable coins as my trading pairs including USDT and BUSD. ETH is also great to use as trading pair, but its price volatility is also a concern. If they are expecting to earn more ETH, then this trading pair is a good one to consider.
