DO NOT IGNORE THIS 👀

Altcoins from their ATHs :

$XMR ↓ 8%
$QRL ↓ 33%
$BNB ↓ 34%
$ETH ↓ 37%
$SYRUP ↓ 39%
$ZANO ↓ 47%
$GEOD ↓ 55%
$HYPE ↓ 57%
$TAO ↓ 59%
$SUI ↓ 63%

Being in these positions in a market like this is pretty normal.

Here is why it matters a lot :

👉 When an altcoin is sitting close to its all-time high, it immediately stands out from the rest of the market.

From a retail perspective, this is often the first filter. Most retail participants are not digging through fundamentals or token supply models.

They are scanning charts and looking for signals that something is already working.

A coin near ATH communicates strength, confidence, and acceptance by the market, which lowers the psychological barrier to entry.

👉 Investors are far more comfortable buying something that looks “right” on the chart. An altcoin near ATH has already proven demand and has no visible group of trapped sellers above current price levels.

This creates a cleaner narrative in the mind of a new buyer. Instead of asking why the price is down 80%, the question becomes whether the next leg higher is coming.

That mental shift matters more than most people admit, especially when a new wave of users enters during a bullish phase.

👉 Strong price action reinforces belief. When an altcoin is near ATH and for Alts, 2-3X is normal, a every positive update, partnership, or narrative tailwind has a much stronger impact.

The story feels validated by the chart.

That creates a feedback loop where attention brings liquidity, liquidity supports price, and price strengthens the narrative further.
