dYdX: the road down from its high
dYdX trades at $0.1064 today — −99.6% from its $27.86 high set in September 2021. A fall that deep means something simple: returning to that level would take a 262× rise.
From low to high
Over 5 years the price of dYdX has moved between $0.0786 and $27.86. The low came in March 2026, the high in September 2021.
The deepest fall on monthly closes was −99.6%: from the peak in September 2021 to the bottom in February 2026, taking 53 months. A useful number: it shows what holding through would have meant.
It has been 61 months since that high, and the price has not returned to it.
What the years show
The best full year was 2023 at +168%. The worst was 2025 at −88.3%. Of 4 full years, 1 closed up and 3 closed down.
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.
The current year stands at −36.7%, ranging from $0.0786 to $0.2447.
Months: how many closed up
Of 60 closed months, 23 finished up and 37 finished down — 38% of months were rising ones. The average month returned −3.2%.
The strongest month on record was January 2023 at +192%; the hardest was October 2025 at −49.8%.
Does DYDX have a seasonal pattern
On average DYDX did best in January: +22.1% across 5 observations, 1 of them positive. It did worst in December: −25.4% across 5 observations.
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
Everything above is the past. It does not say where the price goes next, but it does show the range to be ready for: $0.0786 to $27.86, with a drawdown of −99.6%.
What is useful right now is this: DYDX costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner. 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. And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.
