Major currency pairs are the most traded forex pairs and all include the USD. Examples include EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, and USD/CHF. These pairs typically have the tightest spreads and highest liquidity.
Cross currency pairs don't include the USD but feature major currencies like the EUR, GBP, or JPY. Examples include EUR/GBP, EUR/JPY, and GBP/JPY. These pairs often have wider spreads than major pairs.
Exotic pairs consist of a major currency paired with the currency of an emerging or smaller economy. These pairs typically have wider spreads and can be more volatile than major or cross pairs.
