How these figures are worked out
Sources, inflation measures and what is left out
- Month-end closes from Kraken, Apr 2024 to Oct 2026. Oct 2026 is still in progress, so its figure is the latest close rather than a month-end. Our history for Beam starts in Apr 2024, 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
Beam is in the Mild discount zone with a Bargain Score of 61. Two or more of the looser buy-side conditions are met (Price 93% below ATH, greed high and RSI overbought (88, 14-day)), which puts it on the discount side of the scale without the full set of signals behind it. The all-time high of $0.0442 dates from March 2024, and the price is now 93% 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 0.89 out of 1, while project resilience contributes least at 0.38. 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 High. Gaming and metaverse tokens like this one depend on players and new releases, and as a group they have been slow to recover from the 2021 peak.
Where the cycle targets come from
The cycle targets of $0.0464, $0.0508 and $0.0574 are anchored to the previous all-time high, because a reduced repeat of Beam's past range would not reach it, so the low scenario sits just above the old high, a 1,448% move from today's price.
Beam: questions people ask
What was Beam's all-time high in today's money?
Beam's highest recorded price was $0.0442 on 10 March 2024, from CoinGecko's record of intraday trades. Restated with US CPI to Oct 2026, that is $0.0474 in today's dollars. In pounds it was £0.0349 at the time, or £0.0377 after UK inflation.
On month-end closes, which is what our tables use, the peak was $0.0295 in Dec 2024, worth $0.0313 today. The latest price is 91.5% below the real high.
Has Beam beaten inflation since Apr 2024?
Our monthly history for Beam starts in April 2024. Since then it is down 90.3% in dollars and down 91.0% after US inflation, so it has not kept up with inflation over that stretch. Measured in pounds after UK CPI the figure is down 91.5%. Against the US M2 money supply it is down 91.3%.
How long did Beam take to recover from past crashes?
After the Dec 2024 peak of $0.0295 it fell 95.6% by Jun 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 Beam below its all-time high?
Beam is 93.2% below its all-time high of $0.0442, which it set on 10 March 2024, and its all-time low is $0.00121358, from June 2026. Getting back to the high from today's price of $0.00299558 would take a rise of about 1,374%. These figures come from CoinGecko and refresh every five minutes.
What is Beam's Bargain Score?
The Bargain Score is 61.3 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 Beam in the Mild discount zone: Price 93% below ATH · greed high · RSI overbought (88, 14-day). This describes current conditions; it is not a recommendation.
What do the Beam cycle scenarios assume?
Low cycle target $0.0464 (Previous ATH + 5% (the model’s cycle multiple lands below the previous high).). Base cycle target $0.0508 (Previous ATH + 15%: a return to the previous high (the model’s cycle multiple lands below it).). High cycle target $0.0574 (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 Beam in today?
The model places Beam in the Mild discount zone on a Bargain Score of 61, a partial set of buy-side conditions led by Price 93% below ATH, greed high and RSI overbought (88, 14-day). Rather than a recommendation, the label is a reading of where Beam'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 Beam's past recoveries taken?
Beam has had one earlier fall of 50% or more in our price history: after its $0.0392 peak in December 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 Beam?
The model starts from Beam's full range, its all-time high of $0.0442 divided by its all-time low of $0.00121358, which is roughly 36.4-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 Beam that reduced repeat would not reach the old high, so the targets are anchored just above it instead, at $0.0464, $0.0508 and $0.0574, which puts the low scenario 1,448% 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 Beam 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 Beam's RSI at 88, not enough of the buy-side conditions are met to move Beam further up the scale.
