How these figures are worked out
Sources, inflation measures and what is left out
- Month-end closes from Binance, Jun 2018 to Oct 2026. Oct 2026 is still in progress, so its figure is the latest close rather than a month-end. Our history for TRON starts in Jun 2018, 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.

Is TRON overbought, and how volatile is it?
RSI (14-day)
Soft- Sessions at 70+ (past year)
- 39
- Sessions at 30 or lower
- 9
At 31.7, TRON's RSI is below the halfway mark but still above 30, so sellers have had a little more of the recent action than buyers without it turning into the kind of slide we'd call oversold. It has been at 30 or lower on 9 sessions in the past year, the latest on 12 Jun 2026.
Volatility against other cryptocurrencies
1st calmest of 14- Typical daily move
- 0.6%
- Calmest in group
- TRX 11.7%
TRON's 30-day volatility is 11.7%, which works out at a move of roughly 0.6% on an ordinary day. That makes it the calmest of the 14 cryptocurrencies we track, well below the group median of 73.4%. One very large day, such as an earnings release or a sudden sell-off, can lift a 30-day figure for weeks, so we would read the ranking as this month's picture.

TRON: questions people ask
Answers are built from the same live figures shown above, so they change as the price does. Last checked 14 Oct 2026.
What was TRON's all-time high in today's money?
On month-end closes, TRON's highest price was $0.3514 in May 2026. Restated with US CPI to Oct 2026, that is $0.3513 in today's dollars. In pounds it was £0.2608, or £0.2630 in today's pounds. The latest price is 5.9% below the real high.
Has TRON beaten inflation since Jun 2018?
Our monthly history for TRON starts in June 2018. Since then it is up 783% in dollars and up 565% after US inflation, so it has beaten inflation over that stretch. Measured in pounds after UK CPI the figure is up 549%. Against the US M2 money supply it is up 435%.
How long did TRON take to recover from past crashes?
After the Jun 2018 peak of $0.0376 it fell 69.2% by Mar 2020, and closed above the old high again after 2 years 8 months. In real terms it took 2 years 8 months. After the Apr 2021 peak of $0.1322 it fell 58.8% by Dec 2022, and closed above the old high again after 2 years 10 months. In real terms it took 3 years 4 months.
These use month-end closes, so intraday highs and lows were more extreme.
What is the price of TRON today?
TRON was trading at $0.3272 when we last checked, at 00:14 BST on 14 Oct 2026, which is down 0.6% on 24 hours earlier. Crypto never closes, so we fetch a fresh price from CoinGecko every five minutes, and the figure here can be a few minutes old by the time you read it. At that price all the TRON in circulation is worth about $31.1bn, and $378.5m changed hands over the past day. Over the last month the price has moved −3.2% and over the last year +1.3%.
Is TRON overbought?
No, or at least not on the 14-day RSI, which reads 31.7 at the moment. We'd only start calling TRON overbought above 70 and it hasn't been there since 24 Aug 2026, while the last time it went the other way and dropped below 30 was 12 Jun 2026. RSI looks back over 14 sessions and asks how much of the movement was up and how much was down, so a reading in the 30s or 40s mostly tells us the past few weeks have been tilted towards sellers without getting extreme. TRON has been at 30 or below on 9 sessions in the past year, and a low reading can last for a while when a fall is driven by news, so we don't read it as a sign that the drop is over.
What were TRON's best and worst days in the past year?
Going back to 13 Oct 2025, TRON's best day was 17 Mar 2026, when it rose 3.8%, and its worst was 3 Nov 2025, a fall of 5.8%. We measure each day from one daily close to the next in US dollars, so a spike that reversed within the same day won't show up here. Across those 366 days it moved 5% or more on 1 of them and finished higher 52% of the time, which gives you a feel for how bumpy holding it has been.
How has TRON done compared with Bitcoin?
Over the past 12 months TRON is up 1.3%, and since the start of the year it is up 15.2%. We put it next to Bitcoin because that is the obvious alternative for most people weighing up TRON, and it moved −27.8% over the same 12 months, a gap of 29.1 points in TRON's favour.
How far is TRON below its 52-week high?
About 12.8%, so it would need to rise 14.7% to get back there. The highest close in the past year was $0.3751 on 26 May 2026 and the lowest was $0.2690 on 5 Feb 2026, which puts today's price 55% of the way up that range. We work this out from daily closing prices rather than the intraday highs and lows an exchange reports, so our high can be a little lower than the one you'll see quoted elsewhere.
