Are there coins that are notoriously tricky to trade for other reasons perhaps?
In my opinion trading Altcoin - USDT is very complicated
Example of ETH - USDT, sometimes the bitcoin price goes up a lot and the price of ETH - USDT goes down a lot, because ETH also fell in the ETH - BTC pair; and sometimes the price of bitcoin falls a lot and also the ETH - BTC pair falls a lot resulting in a big price drop in the ETH - USDT pair.
In the case of BNB - USDT Is a big headache, it outperforms the other altcoins.
This is my opinion, I prefer only the pair BTC - USDT.
This pairing is a stable tandem that can sustain longer, and fluctuations was not that appealing because usdt was not so volatile compared with other currency. However, when binance would also be do great of its market growth I am sure it rises amazingly. Don't be intimated with USDT, although it sounded dominant behind other alts I think that's not significant at all times.
