Topic: Which is more profitable trading ETH/USD or ETH/BTC (Read 524 times)

added with the fact that sometime USDT pair usually have more liquidity, and yes I think so too that calculating become harder with a lot of decimals for the convenient sake of exchange could come up with solution to embed dollar worth value side by side with the btc value it will be solved, but i guess some people also prefer stablecoin because the stablecoin itself hardly fluctuate by high margin within short amount of time.

I personally has always been using stablecoin trading pair for simplicity sake but can't deny the fact that bitcoin is definitely way to go for bagging cryptocurrencies because its capability of always reaching new heights of price level.
but in the case of simplicity sake, stablecoin might be more effective in this regard, not to mention the fact that we already used with the nominal of fiat in daily life.

When it comes to the question on which one is profitable then it would really be depending on your risk appetite.
Why? If you are willing that you would really be risking out on accumulating Bitcoin and turns out that the price had risen up
then it would really be a win-win situation yet the profit you do able to earn did really able to increase its price on which means that a double profit for you.
Whereas if you are really that tending to make pair with a stable coin then it would really be just that fixed. If you are that someone who is really that
loving on securing things then this would really be your preferred spot. You could really be able to save up yourself with volatility if you do have Stablecoin pair.

Its up to your own choice which pair you would really be taking because if you do want on having that fixed profit then you would be sticking with USD
since its value is really that fixed but if you are someone whose accumulating Bitcoin then btc pair would be your best shot.
it would be all according into your preference or something that you are dealing with.

Without a doubt this is problematic, we are so used to think in terms of fiat currencies that it makes thinking in terms of bitcoin and other currencies kind of difficult, this is why in the case of bitcoin I think in terms of mBTC and not on BTC directly, as one mBTC is roughly worth 37 dollars at the moment, so if I want to send 10 dollars worth of bitcoin I know I have to send roughly a third of one mBTC, so while not perfect I can give myself an idea of how much bitcoin I need to send at first glance.

more or less the same with this, stablecoin as trading pair just give better estimation therefore it it just feels a lot more convenient in my opinion, like if you entry with capital of $20,000 and comes out with profit around $22,000 you know you have 2k surplus as a profit, but with btc determining that might be quite difficult even more so if the reason of increase is because of bitcoin price.
moreover at the end of the day if we want to truly accumulate bitcoin we could just simply convert the profit that we get from trading into BTC and call it a day.
in my opinion whatever is more convenient just use that.

trading eth/btc, you're basically tracking how ETH stacks up against Bitcoin. it's pair digital currencies, so similar stuff tends to affect them. Like certain news, hacking exchange or trends might push them both up or down at the same time. On the other hand, if you're looking at eth/usd you're comparing ethereum to real-world cash like US dollar. Stuff that messes with the dollar, like decisions from the US Federal Reserve (Feed), could shake up this pairing. But, what really matters ain't just about which pair you pick, but how you make close for profits. Don't problem if you has little profits, you just need time and experience for that.

trading against unstable coin it seems very difficult to calculating profit or lose to me,
i am trading with matic & eth and i see it is extra stress specially in quick entry or sell when it's take time to calculate.
i am familiar to use usdt pair always and i think mostly people's do that. and also i think against unstable coin trading can not be more profitable from stable coin.

I think we I should prefer the Eth/USDC because on the one side you are going to hold the USDC even it is stable and may be you can get loss from just one side and that may be Ethereum. But in the case of Eth/BTC then there will be two coins that are mostly volatile in nature and you can get a loss even.

Better to go for a trade in Eth/USDC this is the way you can minimize the loss in the pair and the trade you are going to made will be smooth on one side. While in the other pair there will be a little risk.

I prefer ETH/BTC. Because it both terms your quantity of coins increase. Both coins are top coins of the crypto market. And its very good idea to invest in these coins for long term and we can also do trading for earning profit. If btc price increases, the eth coin price also increases, So, if you are holding eth or btc, don't worry about loss. Invest in both of these coins for long term.

Yes, considering today's market conditions and answering the OP's question it was a more logical to give an example and answer with a positive scenario, just like in my first comment. However, if we need to answer by taking all conditions into consideration, it is necessary to consider what could happen in case of a possible negative scenario which I stated in my second comment. In general, considering the OP's question and current market conditions it would be more accurate to interpret it through a positive scenario.

Moreover, as you mentioned if we have to make an evaluation according to today's market conditions it wouldn't be right to think of bad scenarios for now. Of course, it is also very important to act knowing that the market can always reverse and all the possible scenarios can happen.

They are both profitable, but I think it's better to do a day trade in ETH. I say this based on my experience in the trading activity I do, so that I can move faster with ETH compared to Bitcoin.

Then I get more profit in ETH compared to Bitcoin. Although I'm not saying that Bitcoin is ugly, of course that's not my point. I just don't know about others, because others find them more beautiful in Bitcoin. Maybe it depends just on the knowledge you have about crypto trading; it's just that likely.

Actually, those coins will depend on the USD rate and the BTC of it so still depends on you how you manage to deal with the market volatility of those pairs, in just my cents if you can make a ride with the market price movement deal with it no too much advice if you can do it at your own. People always grab the buy and sell pressure small profit still consider a profit so its up to you if you want a big percentage just to share to your profile or just enough to call a day as a profit.

To this I will add that that not only the margins of profit will be smaller on the BTC/ETH market but that the number of trades you will have the chance to make are lower as well, so it is better for people to trade the ETH/USD market instead as this will present much better opportunities, while it will also allow you to get out of the market once the bear market starts, a movement that is critical if you want to keep the profits you have accumulate during the bull run.

I feel like the near future looks quite bullish, this is why we tend to look for the situation to be a bit more positive, and that is why it is normal to think about the bullish period. Plus, OP mentions "profitable" which means that it makes people think about the bullish period a lot more. I think it should be noted that we are talking about a situation that is not going to be all that simple, because usd and eth are good for very different periods. I am not saying that it is not going to end up with a bad situation, there could be moments when it is bad, or I could be totally wrong and it doesn't go well at all.

However, if you look at the market right now, and check out the few months we had so far, I would be easily saying that it has been great and will continue to do that. In that case, if the price keeps being bullish like it has been so far, then I am going to guess that it is going to be as great as it gets and you will be right to pick that pair.

Of course, this applies to the negative scenario just as it does to the positive scenario. Although I only mentioned the positive scenario in my comment because the content is based on a positive scenario, a similar situation will also apply to the negative scenario. For this reason, it is always beneficial to choose the transaction parity to be preferred by taking into consideration the market conditions. In addition, it shouldn't be forgotten that in the event of a possible negative scenario if Bitcoin dominance becomes high and Bitcoin loses value there will be a loss both on Bitcoin basis and USD basis due to parity (like a double loss). Certainly, choosing transaction parity considering both scenarios will minimize possible risks.

Both ETH/BTC and ETH/USD pairs have their own opportunities and risks but they can both be profitable. But in the ETH/BTC pair both asset are strongly correlated and tied because they are both crypto asset. So for me it's less easy to make profit with this pair. You can only make some when you think one crypto, BTC or ETH, will outperform the other one. While with the ETH/USD pair, you just need to monitor the overall crypto market to know if you can place long or short orders.

Every person has their own choice in trading and things that are good for me do not mean that I will also be good for everyone. Everyone follows their strategy and makes a choice which is best for him or her. We will just give our opinion to you and the choice will be yours. USDT is a stable coin and did not suddenly but is stable and did not change, if you are seeking stability find a stable coin and less chance of loss USDT is best but remember that it cannot give you high profits as BTC did. While in the other hand, BTC is not a stable coin and is very volatile instead if you choose BTC there is high risk but the more the risk the greater the profits.  Now it is to you what you want to select but my suggestion is Bitcoin if you do want to waste your money and time then invest in the n bitcoin instead of USD

Yes, you will get an additional profit when trading the ETH/BTC pair if the market is in a bullish phase. But if you continue to trade this pair when the market changes to bearish, then your profit will be significantly reduced, and perhaps even reduced in dollar equivalent.

If you know the coins very well and analysis it correctly, then you can success by any coin. You can invest in both ETH/USD or ETH/BTC or any coins. I invest in such coins which give me profit for long or short time.

Reference to ETH/BTC and ETH/USD daily timeframe it's obvious that latter is profitable when traded based on it Price movement which trended massively whether in a bullish or bearish run and the fact that ETH is paired with a stable coin reduces the time to analyze the price movement of ETH and BTC separately, personally I took my time to analyze price movement of crypto pairs with crypto/USDT of which are majority of stable coin pairs on Binance they are well tradeable infact they are majority of traded pair compared to crypto pairs thus focus your attention on them as well as trade them, moreso they usually form regular candlestick patterns which can aid a trader to take trading decision.

Maximizing the profit margin for a trade varies entirely depending on the preferred financial product. For example, let's assume there is a 5% increase in ETH/USD parity. This means that you will earn 5% in USD (excluding commissions). If there is a 5% increase in the BTC/USD parity, the ETH/BTC parity will remain at almost the same price since both of them increase at the same rate. The only way to gain more than 5% using the ETH/BTC parity is with an increase below 5% in the BTC/USD parity. That is, it will be possible to earn more profits depending on the unit of the preferred parity.

Another possibility is to evaluate the mobility in the ETH/BTC parity and obtain a profit margin on Bitcoin basis. In this way, since the profit will be earned in Bitcoin it will be possible to earn profit with the increases in Bitcoin price. For example, let's assume that 1 Bitcoin is gained with ETH/BTC parity. At this point, if there is a 10% increase in the Bitcoin price an extra 10% gain in USD will be obtained. In other words, in order to maximize the profit margin by trading with ETH/BTC parity both Ethereum must gain more value compared to Bitcoin and Bitcoin must gain value on a USD basis.

In summary, there is always the potential to earn more profits depending on the preferred transaction parity but if a parity such as ETH/BTC is preferred both Ethereum and Bitcoin must gain value on a USD basis in order to maximize the profit margin. Additionally, the fact that Ethereum has gained more value compared to Bitcoin is also important in order to gain maximum profit from this parity.
