ATH (All-Time High)
Market
Highest price an asset has ever reached.
All time high is the peak price an asset has reached on a given venue. It is a simple landmark that shapes behavior. Some traders take profits near prior highs. Others buy breakouts when price closes above them with strong volume. Results vary by market, so focus on risk control. Use clear position sizing, check liquidity, and avoid chasing candles during thin hours.
