How these figures are worked out
Sources, inflation measures and what is left out
- Month-end closes from Binance, Mar 2021 to Oct 2026. Oct 2026 is still in progress, so its figure is the latest close rather than a month-end. Our history for Conflux starts in Mar 2021, 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
Conflux sits in the Discount zone with a Bargain Score of 66, meeting at least three of the model's buy-side conditions (Price 97% below ATH, greed high and structural collapse risk). Since its $1.70 peak in March 2021, Conflux has lost 96.6% of its value, a 29-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 0.98 out of 1, while market sentiment contributes least at 0.29. 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 $1.79, $1.95 and $2.21 are anchored to the previous all-time high, because a reduced repeat of Conflux's past range would not reach it, so the low scenario sits just above the old high, a 2,993% move from today's price.
Conflux: questions people ask
What was Conflux's all-time high in today's money?
Conflux's highest recorded price was $1.700 on 26 March 2021, from CoinGecko's record of intraday trades. Restated with US CPI to Oct 2026, that is $2.150 in today's dollars. In pounds it was £1.232 at the time, or £1.618 after UK inflation.
On month-end closes, which is what our tables use, the peak was $1.117 in Mar 2021, worth $1.413 today. The latest price is 95.6% below the real high.
Has Conflux beaten inflation since Mar 2021?
Our monthly history for Conflux starts in March 2021. Since then it is down 94.4% in dollars and down 95.6% after US inflation, so it has not kept up with inflation over that stretch. Measured in pounds after UK CPI the figure is down 95.6%. Against the US M2 money supply it is down 95.3%.
How long did Conflux take to recover from past crashes?
After the Mar 2021 peak of $1.117 it fell 98.0% by Dec 2022, 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 Conflux below its all-time high?
Conflux is 96.6% below its all-time high of $1.70, which it set on 26 March 2021, and its all-time low is $0.022, from December 2022. Getting back to the high from today's price of $0.0577 would take a rise of about 2,846%. These figures come from CoinGecko and refresh every five minutes.
What is Conflux's Bargain Score?
The Bargain Score is 66.3 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 Conflux in the Discount zone: Price 97% below ATH · greed high · structural collapse risk. This describes current conditions; it is not a recommendation.
What do the Conflux cycle scenarios assume?
Low cycle target $1.785 (Previous ATH + 5% (the model’s cycle multiple lands below the previous high).). Base cycle target $1.955 (Previous ATH + 15%: a return to the previous high (the model’s cycle multiple lands below it).). High cycle target $2.210 (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 Conflux in today?
With a Bargain Score of 66, Conflux is in the Discount zone: enough buy-side conditions line up, among them Price 97% below ATH, greed high and structural collapse risk, but not all of the strict ones the Deep discount zone needs. Rather than a recommendation, the label is a reading of where Conflux'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 4-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 Conflux's past recoveries taken?
Conflux has had one earlier fall of 50% or more in our price history: after its $0.5164 peak in March 2024 it fell 93% 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 Conflux?
The model starts from Conflux's full range, its all-time high of $1.70 divided by its all-time low of $0.022, which is roughly 77.3-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 Conflux that reduced repeat would not reach the old high, so the targets are anchored just above it instead, at $1.79, $1.95 and $2.21, which puts the low scenario 2,993% above today's price. They describe what a reduced repeat of the past would look like and say nothing about whether that will happen.
