bigoneWhat happened to the price of Optimism
Optimism trades at $0.0970 today — −98.0% from its $4.87 high set in March 2024. A fall that deep means something simple: returning to that level would take a 50× rise.
From low to high
Optimism (OP) price high and low
Over 4 years the price of Optimism has moved between $0.0807 and $4.87. The low came in August 2026, the high in March 2024.
The deepest OP drawdown
The deepest fall on monthly closes was −97.7%: from the peak in December 2023 to the bottom in July 2026, taking 31 months. A useful number: it shows what holding through would have meant.

Falling years outnumber rising ones — but the spread between the best and worst year matters more than the count: that is what tells you what to be ready for.

Does OP have a seasonal pattern
Which month Optimism rose in most often
On average OP did best in July: +40.7% across 5 observations, 3 of them positive. It did worst in June: −15.3% across 4 observations.
Why the number of observations beats the average percentage
We print the number of observations next to the percentage for a reason. 5 observations is 5 observations: on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from coincidence. Interesting to look at, not something to plan around.
How to use this
What these numbers do not say
Everything above is the past. It does not say where the price goes next, but it does show the range to be ready for: $0.0807 to $4.87, with a drawdown of −97.7%.
Where to check the OP price across exchanges
What is useful right now comes down to three things, all of them computed from live data rather than history.
The OP price gap between exchanges
OP costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner: it shows where the coin is cheaper and where it is dearer right now.
How much OP you can actually buy at that price
Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer.
Moving OP between platforms
And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.
