## Definition

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.

For teachers: 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).

## Examples

- The token recovered after hitting its ATL.
- After months of decline, the coin set a new ATL before slowly climbing back.
- Buying at the exact ATL is largely luck; disciplined investors accumulate across a range rather than trying to time the precise bottom.
