ATH Proximity: Recovery and Drawdown Context Around New Highs

See how close an asset was to its prior highs, how deep drawdowns became, and how long recovery took across the sample history.

ATH proximity is useful when the question is not just return, but the path through drawdowns and recovery.

This page covers how the analysis measures time below prior highs, drawdown depth, and recovery duration.

What it helps you understand

  • How often the asset spent time near new highs.
  • How severe and persistent drawdowns were.
  • How long recovery windows lasted.

When to use this view

Use ATH Proximity when you need drawdown depth and recovery context for an asset, not just total return. It helps frame expectations about how long an asset can spend below prior highs.

Interpret with care

  • A short sample can distort recovery conclusions.
  • A long secular trend can make proximity look better than the lived drawdown experience.
  • This is a descriptive history, not a timing oracle.

Pairs well with

  • DCA views when timing and recovery both matter.
  • Correlation when diversification is the next question.
  • Portfolio Backtest when the asset is one sleeve of a larger plan.

FAQ

Does being near an all-time high imply worse future returns?
