All Time High (ATH)
The highest price a cryptocurrency or traded asset has ever reached, often used as a market cycle benchmark.
- Acronym
- ATH
- Also known as
- ATH
An all-time high (ATH) is the highest recorded price for an asset over its trading history. It is a reference point for performance, drawdowns, resistance levels, and market-cycle discussion.
ATH figures can differ by exchange, currency pair, and data provider. A brief wick on a thinly traded venue may not match the volume-weighted price shown by market data aggregators.
ATHs can attract attention, FOMO, and profit-taking. Breaking a prior ATH may put an asset into price discovery, but it does not guarantee continued gains.
