ATH

All-Time High - The highest price a token has ever reached since its creation.

All-Time High (ATH) refers to the highest price a cryptocurrency token has ever reached since its creation or listing. On pump.fun, tracking ATH is crucial for understanding a tokenโ€™s performance and potential.

Why ATH Matters

  • Performance Benchmark: Shows the tokenโ€™s peak performance
  • Resistance Level: Often acts as a psychological resistance level
  • Risk Assessment: Helps evaluate current risk vs. reward ratio

ATH in pump.fun Context

On pump.fun, tokens can experience rapid ATH changes due to:

  • Viral moments and social media attention
  • Celebrity endorsements or influencer mentions
  • Community rallies and coordinated buying

Trading Considerations

When a token approaches its ATH:

  • Increased volatility is common
  • Profit-taking often occurs
  • FOMO buying can drive further pumps

Remember that past performance doesnโ€™t guarantee future results, and tokens can decline significantly from their ATH.
