REFERENCE

ATL

n. countable
B2 Upper Intermediate US //ˌeɪtiːˈɛl//
Definition

n. Stands for All-Time Low — the lowest price an asset has ever traded at. Traders watch for a new ATL as a sign of extreme weakness or a possible bottom.

n. Abbreviation for All-Time Low: the lowest price a financial asset, index, or token has reached over its entire history. Contrast ATH (all-time high).


SIMPLE

The token recovered after hitting its ATL.

CONTEXTUAL

After months of decline, the coin set a new ATL before slowly climbing back.

COMPLEX

Buying at the exact ATL is largely luck; disciplined investors accumulate across a range rather than trying to time the precise bottom.

Origin

Initialism of all-time low, borrowed from trading and market analysis.
