ATL

ATL, or All-Time Low, represents the lowest price, value, or market capitalization an asset—such as a cryptocurrency, NFT, or portfolio—has ever reached since its inception. Monitoring ATL helps traders, investors, and analysts identify market bottoms, gauge sentiment shifts, and pinpoint undervalued opportunities in the Solana ecosystem.

Crypto Terminology

ATL: what is it?

ATL stands for “All-Time Low” and designates the lowest price point or value that a specific token, NFT, or investment portfolio has ever experienced in its trading history. On Solana, ATLs are tracked by analytics dashboards, portfolio trackers, trading bots, and explorers for every major coin, meme token, or NFT collection. ATL serves as a historical milestone for investors and market analysts, indicating periods of extreme pessimism, “bottom-fishing” opportunities, or making for technical analysis indicators. An asset can hit several ATL levels during its lifecycle, especially early in its market journey or after a major downturn.

Live price tracking tools—such as portfolio management dashboards and bots—automatically update ATL in real time as price actions unfold. Spotting an ATL can inform strategy, risk management, and recovery plans. Market sentiment often becomes extremely negative at ATLs, but reversals and accumulations can occur as risk-tolerant traders look for bargains.

How It Works

  • For tokens: ATL is calculated as the lowest ever trade or last price reached (e.g., SOL, WEN, or a new meme coin).

  • For NFTs: ATL is marked by the lowest sale or floor price ever achieved.

  • For portfolios: ATL refers to an investor’s personal lowest paper value after all gains and losses. Analytics tools update ATL values instantly across DEXs, CEXs, and price feeds, letting users monitor market cycles down to the minute.

ATL in Solana’s Ecosystem

In Solana’s active and highly volatile markets, ATLs play a significant role in decision-making—especially during meme coin cycles, rebase events, or broader market downturns. Tools such as Rick Bot, portfolio trackers, and block explorers (e.g. Solscan, Birdeye) document and alert users when fresh ATLs are reached for assets and collections, sometimes prompting bargain hunting or risk-based strategies.

Why Is ATL Important?

  • Identifies historic market troughs and investor capitulation points.

  • Key technical analysis reference for establishing support, stop-loss, or buy zones.

  • Helps users spot, avoid, or capitalize on extreme price weaknesses.

  • Patterns of frequent new ATLs may indicate systemic risks or failed projects.

🔑 Key points

  • ATL is the lowest value ever reached by a token, NFT, or portfolio in its trading history.

  • Updated and tracked live by trading tools, analytics bots, and portfolio dashboards.

  • Often used in conjunction with ATH (All-Time High) for historical perspective and risk management.

  • ATLs attract both fear-driven selling and risk-tolerant buying.

Examples

  • 1

    SOL or a Solana meme coin (e.g., WEN) dropping to a new ATL during a market crash.

  • 2

    An NFT collection’s floor price hitting ATL due to negative press or mass listings.

  • 3

    Rick Bot or wallet dashboards notifying users automatically when ATLs are breached.

Common Use Cases

Technical analysis for setting buy/sell targets or protective stop-losses.
Portfolio analytics and journaling—tracking personal or marketwide drawdowns.
Strategies targeting bargains during periods of maximum pessimism.
On-chain tools alerting traders to new ATL events for rapid decision-making.

Pro Tips

💡

Extreme caution: ATLs may signal strong downside momentum—never assume a reversal is imminent without other signals.
