What is All-Time High (ATH)?

This term refers to the highest price ever experienced by an asset or currency.

#1 Market Excitement

Reaching a new ATH reflects high excitement and investor confidence, often accompanied by increased trading volume and activity.

#2 Market Psychology

The ATH level can act as a psychological resistance, leading investors to sell and potentially causing a price decline.

#3 Identifying Uptrends

Technical analysts use ATH levels to identify uptrends and forecast future price levels.

Example of All-Time High (ATH)

A weekly chart of gold against the US dollar (XAU/USD) shows the price reaching its historical peak (ATH).
