How these figures are worked out

Sources, inflation measures and what is left out
  • Month-end closes from Binance, Oct 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 Aptos starts in Oct 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.

Compare all 54 coins in the screener How the scores work

Why it sits in this zone

Aptos is in Fair value, with a Bargain Score of 52: neither the buy-side nor the sell-side conditions are strong enough to place it anywhere else. Since its $19.92 peak in January 2023, Aptos has lost 95.8% of its value, a 24-fold gap back to the high that few coins have closed in past cycles.

What drives the score

The largest weighted part of the score is price distress, at 0.96 out of 1, while derivatives positioning contributes least at 0.20. Only 42% of its supply is circulating, so future releases weigh on the token supply score. 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. Base-layer networks like this one compete for the same developers and users, and a chain that loses momentum has often stayed behind for a long time.

Where the cycle targets come from

The cycle targets of $20.92, $22.91 and $25.90 are anchored to the previous all-time high, because a reduced repeat of Aptos's past range would not reach it, so the low scenario sits just above the old high, a 2,396% move from today's price.

FAQ

Aptos: questions people ask

What was Aptos's all-time high in today's money?

Aptos's highest recorded price was $19.92 on 26 January 2023, from CoinGecko's record of intraday trades. Restated with US CPI to Oct 2026, that is $22.30 in today's dollars. In pounds it was £16.16 at the time, or £18.36 after UK inflation.

On month-end closes, which is what our tables use, the peak was $17.08 in Mar 2024, worth $18.31 today. The latest price is 95.4% below the real high.

Has Aptos beaten inflation since Oct 2022?

Our monthly history for Aptos starts in October 2022. Since then it is down 89.0% in dollars and down 90.2% after US inflation, so it has not kept up with inflation over that stretch. Measured in pounds after UK CPI the figure is down 91.6%. Against the US M2 money supply it is down 89.9%.

How long did Aptos take to recover from past crashes?

After the Oct 2022 peak of $7.944 it fell 56.6% by Dec 2022, and closed above the old high again after 3 months. In real terms it took 3 months. After the Jan 2023 peak of $16.74 it fell 67.2% by Sep 2023, and closed above the old high again after 1 year 2 months. In real terms it has not recovered. After the Mar 2024 peak of $17.08 it fell 96.9% by Aug 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 Aptos below its all-time high?

Aptos is 95.8% below its all-time high of $19.92, which it set on 26 January 2023, and its all-time low is $0.5112, from August 2026. Getting back to the high from today's price of $0.8381 would take a rise of about 2,277%. These figures come from CoinGecko and refresh every five minutes.

What is Aptos's Bargain Score?

The Bargain Score is 51.7 out of 100 (Watch). 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 Aptos in the Fair value zone: Price 96% below ATH · greed high · funding negative · longs crowded. This describes current conditions; it is not a recommendation.

What do the Aptos cycle scenarios assume?

Low cycle target $20.92 (Previous ATH + 5% (the model’s cycle multiple lands below the previous high).). Base cycle target $22.91 (Previous ATH + 15%: a return to the previous high (the model’s cycle multiple lands below it).). High cycle target $25.90 (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 Aptos in today?

On a Bargain Score of 52, Aptos falls between the buy-side and sell-side rules and is labelled Fair value. Rather than a recommendation, the label is a reading of where Aptos'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 2-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 Aptos's past recoveries taken?

Aptos has had one earlier fall of 50% or more in our price history: after its $18.07 peak in March 2024 it fell 97% 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 Aptos?

The model starts from Aptos's full range, its all-time high of $19.92 divided by its all-time low of $0.5112, which is roughly 39.0-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 Aptos that reduced repeat would not reach the old high, so the targets are anchored just above it instead, at $20.92, $22.91 and $25.90, which puts the low scenario 2,396% 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 Aptos have a Bargain Score of 52 but sit in Fair value?

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 Aptos's RSI at 54, not enough of the buy-side conditions are met to move Aptos further up the scale.
