How these figures are worked out
Sources, inflation measures and what is left out
- Month-end closes from Kraken, Feb 2022 to Oct 2026. Oct 2026 is still in progress, so its figure is the latest close rather than a month-end. Our history for Akash Network starts in Feb 2022, so longer windows are left out.
- Real figures divide by US CPI (BLS, via FRED) or UK CPI (ONS, joined to the ONS long-run RPI before Jan 1988) and are stated in Oct 2026 money. The M2 lens divides by the US M2 money supply (Federal Reserve, via FRED). Pounds convert at each month's GBP/USD rate.
- US CPI is published with a lag: Oct 2026 uses the Aug 2026 figure.
- UK CPI is published with a lag: Oct 2026 uses the Aug 2026 figure.
- US M2 is published with a lag: Oct 2026 uses the Aug 2026 figure.
- A return of 12 months or more also shows its yearly rate. Gaps in a source are left as gaps and never filled in.

Why it sits in this zone
Akash Network is in the Mild discount zone with a Bargain Score of 61. Two or more of the looser buy-side conditions are met (Price 92% below ATH and greed high), which puts it on the discount side of the scale without the full set of signals behind it. The all-time high of $8.07 dates from April 2021, and the price is now 92% below it. Falls of this size are common for coins after a cycle peak, though not every coin recovers from them.
What drives the score
The largest weighted part of the score is price distress, at 0.94 out of 1, while project resilience contributes least at 0.35. It has no OKX perpetual contract, so positioning is held at a neutral 0.5. It has come through one full market cycle by the model's definition, and its chance of a new all-time high is rated Medium. Like most of the AI and DePIN group, its price has reacted strongly to the wider AI story, which makes its cycles fast in both directions.
Where the cycle targets come from
The cycle targets of $8.47, $9.28 and $10.49 are anchored to the previous all-time high, because a reduced repeat of Akash Network's past range would not reach it, so the low scenario sits just above the old high, a 1,137% move from today's price.
Akash Network: questions people ask
What was Akash Network's all-time high in today's money?
Akash Network's highest recorded price was $8.070 on 6 April 2021, from CoinGecko's record of intraday trades. Restated with US CPI to Oct 2026, that is $10.12 in today's dollars. In pounds it was £5.832 at the time, or £7.606 after UK inflation.
On month-end closes, which is what our tables use, the peak was $5.316 in Mar 2024, worth $5.701 today. The latest price is 86.8% below the real high.
Has Akash Network beaten inflation since Feb 2022?
Our monthly history for Akash Network starts in February 2022. Since then it is down 41.7% in dollars and down 50.7% after US inflation, so it has not kept up with inflation over that stretch. Measured in pounds after UK CPI the figure is down 52.4%. Against the US M2 money supply it is down 45.8%.
How long did Akash Network take to recover from past crashes?
After the Mar 2022 peak of $1.307 it fell 85.2% by Dec 2022, and closed above the old high again after 1 year 8 months. In real terms it took 1 year 8 months. After the Mar 2024 peak of $5.316 it fell 94.0% by Feb 2026, and has not closed above that high since. In real terms it has not recovered.
These use month-end closes, so intraday highs and lows were more extreme.
How far is Akash Network below its all-time high?
Akash Network is 91.5% below its all-time high of $8.07, which it set on 6 April 2021, and its all-time low is $0.165, from November 2022. Getting back to the high from today's price of $0.6848 would take a rise of about 1,078%. These figures come from CoinGecko and refresh every five minutes.
What is Akash Network's Bargain Score?
The Bargain Score is 60.8 out of 100 (Meaningful discount). It combines the discount from the previous high, market sentiment, momentum and the coin's track record across past cycles. On our zone scale that places Akash Network in the Mild discount zone: Price 92% below ATH · greed high. This describes current conditions; it is not a recommendation.
What do the Akash Network cycle scenarios assume?
Low cycle target $8.474 (Previous ATH + 5% (the model’s cycle multiple lands below the previous high).). Base cycle target $9.281 (Previous ATH + 15%: a return to the previous high (the model’s cycle multiple lands below it).). High cycle target $10.49 (Previous ATH + 30% (the model’s cycle multiple lands below the previous high).). Each is the price the coin would reach if a smaller version of its past cycle repeated, not a loss case. They come from a model of past cycles and can be badly wrong.
How fearful is the crypto market right now?
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index reads 62 (Greed). Low readings mean fear, high readings mean greed. The Bargain Score uses it as one input, because past cycle lows tended to arrive during extreme fear.
What zone is Akash Network in today?
The model places Akash Network in the Mild discount zone on a Bargain Score of 61, a partial set of buy-side conditions led by Price 92% below ATH and greed high. Rather than a recommendation, the label is a reading of where Akash Network's price and the wider market sit against the model's rules at this moment, and because the Fear & Greed value and the daily RSI both update at midnight UTC, just after midnight is when it is most likely to change. The 3-dot meter beside it shows where that zone sits on the five-step scale, from one dot for Expensive to five for Deep discount.
How long have Akash Network's past recoveries taken?
Akash Network has had one earlier fall of 50% or more in our price history: after its $4.77 peak in December 2024 it fell 94% and has not closed above that level since. Those are the only data points we have for this coin, which is too few to say anything reliable about the next recovery, since market conditions, supply and competition are different each cycle and some coins never regain a previous high.
What are the cycle targets for Akash Network?
The model starts from Akash Network's full range, its all-time high of $8.07 divided by its all-time low of $0.165, which is roughly 48.9-fold. It shrinks that multiple with a decay factor, on the assumption that each cycle is smaller than the last, and applies it from the low. For Akash Network that reduced repeat would not reach the old high, so the targets are anchored just above it instead, at $8.47, $9.28 and $10.49, which puts the low scenario 1,137% above today's price. They describe what a reduced repeat of the past would look like and say nothing about whether that will happen. Cryptoassets are high risk, and you should be prepared to lose all the money you put into them.
Why does Akash Network have a Bargain Score of 61 but sit in the Mild discount zone?
Because the score and the zone measure different things. The score blends price distress, sentiment, positioning, resilience and supply into one number, while the zone checks whether specific conditions line up, such as Fear & Greed crossing a threshold or the RSI reaching oversold or overbought levels. With Fear & Greed at 62 (Greed) and Akash Network's RSI at 56, not enough of the buy-side conditions are met to move Akash Network further up the scale.
