What this page shows
The Cardano price from April 2018 to today, broken down by month and year, alongside the live price from exchanges right now. The chart is built from monthly closes, so it shows the shape of the move rather than the noise inside a week.
The history in numbers
Across 8 years of observations Cardano has ranged from $0.0176 (its low, March 2020) to $3.10 (its high, September 2021). It currently sits 15× above that low.
The best full year was 2021 at +621%; the worst was 2022 at −81.2%. Of 7 complete years, 4 closed higher and 3 closed lower.
The current year stands at −22.5% so far, ranging from $0.1382 to $0.4374.
Historical patterns
Of 100 closed months, 40 finished higher and 60 finished lower — 40% of months up. The average month returned +5.5%.
The strongest month on record was February 2021 at +281%; the weakest was November 2018 at −44.7%.
The deepest drawdown on monthly closes was −94.8%: from the peak in August 2021 to the trough in June 2026, 58 months of decline.
61 months have passed since the all-time-high month on a closing basis.
Month-of-year seasonality
The strongest month on average has been February at +32.0% across 8 observations, 3 of them positive. The weakest has been June at −19.1% across 9 observations, 1 positive.
We print the observation count beside every percentage on purpose. 8 observations is 8 observations, and on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from a coincidence. Interesting to look at; not something to build a plan on.
