A currency pair is the quotation of one currency against another, showing how much of the quote currency is needed to buy one unit of the base currency — for example, EUR/USD 1.0850 means one euro buys 1.0850 US dollars. Every forex trade is simultaneously a purchase of one currency and a sale of the other.
Pairs are grouped into majors (paired with USD), minors/crosses (no USD leg), and exotics (one emerging-market currency), which broadly determines their liquidity and typical spread.
