BingXHow TrueUSD ended up so far from its high
TrueUSD trades at $0.9997 against a high of $3.00 in May 2021 — −66.7% off the peak. Getting back there would take a 3× rise.
From low to high
Over 8 years the price of TrueUSD has moved between $0.4654 and $3.00. The low came in January 2021, the high in May 2021. From the bottom the price has risen 2.1× — which is what someone would have made buying at the worst possible moment and holding to today.
It has been 90 months since that high, and the price has not returned to it.
What the years show
The best full year was 2024 at +0.4%. The worst was 2020 at −0.5%. Of 7 full years, 3 closed up and 4 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 +0.2%, ranging from $0.9940 to $1.03.
Months: how many closed up
Of 95 closed months, 32 finished up and 63 finished down — 34% of months were rising ones. The average month returned +0.0%.
The strongest month on record was February 2024 at +1.2%; the hardest was December 2018 at −1.6%.
Does TUSD have a seasonal pattern
On average TUSD did best in April: +0.2% across 8 observations, 4 of them positive. It did worst in May: −0.2% across 8 observations.
We print the number of observations next to the percentage for a reason. 8 observations is 8 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: $0.4654 to $3.00.
What is useful right now is this: TUSD 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.
