In the crypto world, people often talk about “ATH” and “ATL”. What do these two mean?

In simple terms:

ATH (All Time High) = Historical highest price. It is the highest increase that this coin has experienced since its inception.
ATL (All Time Low) = Historical lowest price. Conversely, when it falls the hardest.

Take BTC as an example, the ATH is $69,044 (according to CoinGecko data). This is the most expensive moment in Bitcoin's history. In contrast, the ATL is the miserable price when it first launched.

Why are these two concepts important? Because they can help you assess a coin's historical performance—how far it is from its ATH indicates the potential for price increase; how far it is from its ATL indicates the potential for buying at the bottom. Many people use this indicator to decide when to enter the market.
